Not sure what to say?

So glad to know him and his wife. !! Such sweet Christian friends

When I was an undergraduate at UAH (1973-1977) I was hired as a student assistant in the office of Dr. Graves, the University's president, and my desk was a few feet away from Joe's. We became good friends and he was a fine mentor. I always enjoyed his sense of humor. I respected and admired him, and I extend my condolences to his family. He was a good man.

Our memories of Joe are very special. He was an amazing person that has been in our lives for a very long time. His shining personality will live on in our hearts. Gail, we are deeply sorry for your loss and we send to you healing prayers and comforting hugs.

What a friend, encourager and teacher. A great example
