Joe Stephen Hughes

I just found out about Joe passing. I worked with Joe for 2 years. He was a wonderful caring Nurse, friend and always had a smile on his face. My thoughts and prayers along with the other nurses that worked with him goes out to his wife and family. He will be greatly missed.

Karen, we are sorry to just hear of Joe's passing. I know that you will be lost without him, but he would want you to go on. God will lead you. Bud was always very fond of Joe and was shocked to hear about his passing. You are in our prayers.

I worked years ago with Joe at Harris Regional, I really enjoyed those years that I had the opportunity to work with him. My prayers are with his family.

So sorry to hear this, Joe was a great friend and mentor. I miss the days that I worked with him at the hospital in Sylva, I have thought of him fondly ever since.
I am sorry that I did not hear of his passing until after the service. My peace and condolences to Karen and family.

Joe used to be me and my husbands nurse at Maggie Valley Nursing home when he was working there and was one of my favorites. He was always kind and attentive to me and my husbands needs. So sorry to hear on his passing. He will certainly be missed.

I'm very sorry for your loss. Joe and I where good friends back in high school, when I was drafted and was sent to Vietnam we lost touch with each other but Joe always had a special place in my heart! I know that it's hard to lose someone that is close to you but I truly hope you can find peace in your heart.Richard Edney

I had the honor of growing up with Joe in the lovely community of Grovemont. We also attended school through high school together. While I haven't seen him in many years I share a load of great memories with him. I'll share one with you and leave you guys to your thoughts. The day that John F. Kennedy was killed in Dallas our Swannanoa Elementary school closed early and we were sent home. Joe and I were 10 years old and riding the same bus. He sat right behind me and I'll never forget him...

So sorry for your loss, Karen praying that God will give you comfort. Love you! Sandra Robertson

So sad to hear of Joe's passing. I knew him through his brother, Jack.
Prayers for his wife and family.
