Not sure what to say?

Dear Rose and family,
In yesterday's church bulletin, I read that Joe had passed away. I was fortunate that you and Joe were our neighbors for so many years. You both have such good hearts and generous spirits. The world is less without him. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Ruth and Roy,
I understand how hard this is for you. You think you are prepared but then the reality sets in. I am so sorry I can't be there. Please pass on our condolences to your Mom and sisters.

Dear Aunt Rose and family - his smiling face will always be remembered in our hearts, his memories are the legacy of love - for which we celebrate his full life... may happy reminiscence carry you through this sorrowful time. Love, Susie (do you think he can get Lanning's fried chicken dinners on Tuesdays in heaven?)

Bowling, Bowling, Bowling! What else is there to say! I appreciated so much knowing Joe during my career at the Press.

Ruth and Roy,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I never met Joe, but Roy, you spoke kindly of him on many occasions. May he rest in peace.

Dear Rose and Family,
Phil and I have such good memories of the two of you and Joe's years at The Press. Phil always chuckled about following Joe down the hallway - Joe was practicing his bowling approach. There should be a large table in heaven for all the GR bowlers to sit around and share stories with Joe. He was a good man who will be missed by many.

Alice and family,
So sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. How wonderful for him to have lived such a long life filled with the love of his wife and all his girls and their families. May he rest in peace. Our thoughts are with you all at this time. Love, Kathy and Jim Cook

Joyce and Fred,
Your dad sounds like an interesting and passionate person. We are thinking of you and praying for you as you experience the loss of your dad and father-in-law.
Peace and strength to you both,
Marcia and Tom Good

Joe was my Grandpa Stan Popielarz's best friend. They grew up together and grew old together. I didn't know Joe personally. I met him at my Grandpa's funeral and he struck me as a very kind and humble man. I did know of him from many stories and I know he made my Grandpa's life fuller. I was heart-broken to hear of his passing. Now they can keep each other company again. My deepest sympathy for all his loved ones. Our families will be bonded through these wonderful men always.
