Not sure what to say?

At 6 years of age, I was privileged to have this wonderful man as my Sunday School teacher at South Miami Methodist Church. He influenced my life in a most positive way and made the word of God live in my life even today. He taught lessons I experienced later in life. When you can hardly put one foot in front of the other, God will never put a burden on you that you can not get through.

Our condolences for the loss of a great man. Joe was an active member of the Marauder Historical Society and we are grateful for his involvement. We were very pleased to receive copies of his memoir "Tiger Stripe". A copy resides in our B-26 Archive in Tucson, Az. Our thoughts are with you and the family.

Dear Pat,
I just heard of Joe's passing. I'm so sorry, and send condolences on behalf of all Joe's WWII friends in the 559th Squadron, as well as myself. I never met Joe, but received a very kind letter from him with a copy of his book "Tiger Stripe." He was held in high regard by all, and I know he will be greatly missed.
Best Regards and deepest sympathy,
Richard Ervin

My condolences to the Eaton family during this period of grief for a great man. In the late 40s, Joe and I played semi-pro baseball in Miami. Joe played 1st base for EAL and I played in the outfield for Luby Chevy. We were both recalled to active duty with the 435th TCW(USAF) in 1951. Big Joe was one of the coaches on the base football team, of which I was a member. I last visited with the Judge and Pat about 2 years ago. Big Joe, we're going to miss you.

To Joel, Mary and the rest of the Eaton Family: Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Judge Eaton was an inspiration.
