Barbara, we didn't have the opportunity to get to know Joe very well, but from the comments of his friends, former co-workers and neighbors, he was a wonderful man and will be missed by many. We plan to attend the Norton Family Reunion next June in St. Helen's and hope we can get together then. Our thoughts are with you.

Ibra and I and our family would like to extend our love and sympathy during this very difficult time. Our prayers are with all of you. Uncle Joe was a very loving and compassionate man. He was always there to support and encourage others. I will miss his smiling face and our conversations at parties and reunions. We are going to miss you Uncle Joe but I know that my Dad is enjoying your company in Heaven!
