Shelley mentioned that Joe had passed away. Although I did not Joe, it looks as if brought joy to the people he knew. As Joe is promoted to his "New Life" may his good memories linger in your hearts. Sending you God's grace, peace and joy during these difficult times. Warmly, Cousin Victoria MacDonald and family

I have considered The Auffenberg Family to be my second family for pretty much my entire life. Well,since I was in kindergarten. I can't tell you the memories I have of Joe and Anne and Chris driving us all around town. Sometimes Jamie and Tom would hall us around town as well. I learned from Joe that everyone has the compassion for love and everyone deserves to receive it as well. I remember many conversations with Mrs. Auffenberg about the choices she made with her children. I can't...

I knew Joe because he was my neighbor. I very often saw him walking in front of my house and around my neighborhood, and it always brought a smile to my face to see him. We would often say hello and sometimes he'd stop to watch my kids or pet my dog. The most memorable conversation was one day when he joined me as I was walking my dog and as we walked together, he told me a long story about his mother and a party the family had had for her(maybe a birthday party). He told it in such a caring...

To Joe's siblings,
My mom was Liz Gilbert who worked for years at SLARC. She & Joe had a mutual admiration society going. I saw Joe at lots of SLARC events. What a guy! I know he loved my mom and it was wonderful to see him at mom's funeral. My heart breaks for you all and you are in my prayers.

Auffenberg Family-
I am so sorry to hear that you lost Joe. Six years ago, God blessed us with a vivacious little girl with special needs. She reminds me a lot of Joe. She was singing her heart out at Mass this weekend, and it made me smile as I thought back to being in the pew next to him at Mass at Immacolata. He was always there. I can only hope that world will embrace her the way they did Joe and that her life can be as full as his. He was truly loved by so many people.
You...

I supported Joe through St Louis ARC for almost a year in 2008/2009. He was always a pleasure to work with and I enjoyed my time getting to know him and his family. I would pick him up from day program and spend the evening with him. We watched old TV shows and he always wanted to eat at Miss Sherry's cafe or a Chinese restaurant near his house. I also enjoyed taking him bowling on Saturday mornings! He and his entire team were really impressive! We went to every event held by the ARC as...
