I am very sad to learn of Joe's passing. Joe was a very good friend and nieighbor to my parents in Parkland for many years. My parents often spoke warmly of his friendship, kindness, helpfulness and wonderful sence of humor. Joe will certainly be missed by all that knew him. Please accept my deepest sympathies as my deepest condolences are with you.

We have a lot of fond memories of Joe. The Mustang gang would meet on Saturday mornings at Forza Coffee in Parkland and share stories and talk about the 'stangs. Joe always made us laugh. We will miss you....

I grew up hearing stories about Joe and my dad working together for the Nisqually Police. He was a wonderful friend to my father and our family. He was a kind and funny man and we will miss his calls asking how things are out in the land of milk and honey and his special corn deliveries even up until this past year when his health was failing. Thank you to his family for sharing Joe with all of us. He will be missed!
