Joseph Charles Balkus

My thoughts and prayers are with the family in their loss. Joe and I were friends at NMSU.

I'm so thankful for the friendship Terry and I had with Joe and Carol. They fought a long, hard battle. I miss our phone conversations every week. Joe was so supportive of us during Terry's illness, while enduring his illness and changes in life. I know Joe and Carol are at peace and with each other. My heartfelt condolences to his family. In Love, Charliss Jones

Big Joe RIP Lot of memories all good

May you rest in peace and God bless your soul Sir. Thank you for your friendship.

NMSU would not have been the same without you. Rest in peace brother and say hello to all our brothers gone ahead and will be there to greet you as you enter your final home.

Big, Beautiful Masculine Brother, as kind and loving as he was tall. In Hoc Brother, Rest well.

I have many wonderful memories of Brother Joe as a kind, thoughtful and caring person! He was truly a gentle giant in so many ways. So many laughable times and challenges yet we all survived as fraternity brothers! My sympathies and condolences to the family! Unfortunately I will be unable to attend the Memorial. Reynie

I´m sorry I cannot be there to celebrate Joe´s life. He was a wonderful friend and fraternity brother. He will be missed by all that knew him.

So sorry to hear about Joe. He was fun and likeable guy. Dennis and I worked with Joe at Halliburton.
