Joseph R. Babcock

My deepest sympathy to the entire family. Joe was such an amazing man...I can't recall a single memory of him when he didn't have a smile or a kind word to say. I always kind of felt like he was my "Lake Dad" RIP Mr.Joe...You will be a melody that plays in in our hearts forever. Love always Abby Huffman (Short)

Steve. Denise and the Babcock family, So sorry to hear of your brother's passing. You and your family are in our prayers. May God hold all of you in the palm of his hand during this difficult time. Kathy Renwick Rosema Mack J and Meghan McKenzie

So many great memories, you will truly be missed by so many! " A life well lived" Love you, my Brother!

Lord welcome Joe into his heavenly home and during this time. Give peace and tranquility to family and friends, in your name Lord I ask amen. Joe and I hung out a lot together during high school. He was very outgoing and we always found a way to push the boundaries just short of getting in trouble. He and I were the first 2 guys who were allowed to take a typing class at Mona Shores. I have not seen him in many years but will never, ever forget the friend he was. Remember our class song.......

Joe was one of the most respectable men that I have known. The measure of a person is how they provide, love and care for their family members; Joe was an exemplary husband, father & grandfather. He was a good friend. He always showed interest and made conversation whenever I stopped by. He always showed his admiration, kindness and just overall goodness and that makes him someone who will always be memorable to me. God speed. Lots of love to the Babcock family. Love, Kris

Becky And family: Joe and I grew up together and I have countless fond memories of our close friendship during those early years. Joe did me the honor of being my best man at my wedding in October of 1965. Joe was a frequent visitor to my home when on leave from the military and after his honorable discharge. After his marriage to Beckey, our families remained close friends for many years. I am only consoled by knowing of his personal walk with our Lord and that he for sure was welcomed...
