Dr. Reverend Joseph P. BLEAKLEY

John Kris and Brian, my heart aches for you. It takes a long long time. You have the memories. God Bless each of you and you families,

John and I had many good times with Joe and Judy. He was an excellent singer and always tried to do what the Lord asked of him. We will miss him.

I remember Joe from when he was the Synod Mission Director and I was working at Churchwide. He was a pleasure to know and a blessing to many. Your family is in my prayers.

Dear Judy and family,
The day I met Joe, April 2004, I asked what exciting things were happening in the Southern Central Illinois Synod and he began to talk and talk with excitement. His colleague said that she had not seen him like that very often. This conversation led to the two of them recommending me for a unique, challenging and the best first call experience I could have ever had. Joe connected me with training and people who supported the work of church transformation. He met with...

Thanks be to God for Joseph's life lived in ways that blessed so many over the years.

Our hearts go out to you and your family. He is at rest and in no pain. I will always remember the days we worked together. I will never forget them.

You are all in our thoughts and prayers. We have many memories of a kind spiritual leader who helped us through some difficult times.

May you rest in Peace and walk in Glory, Joe. Sending prayers of comfort family and friends

YOU ARE ALL IN MY PRAYERS. JAN MORITZ-OERLY
