My condolences to the family of Joe Denest.Joe you taught me to fly some 25 years ago.Its been a long time since but I often thought and think of you.You will be missed by all that were fortunate to know you.Just like you told me the day I crashed my super chipmunk (all good things must come to an end you told me)You were a good man Joe! May you rest in peace.God Bless!!! JOE RUCINSKI

We at Total Care have you all in our thoughts.

Joe at the airfield

To say I'll miss him will be such an under statement.
I'll miss his constant nagging to me about my smoking and concern for me and my family especially my son, and mostly our daily 10 PM conversations. I think we may have missed 3 or 4 times on the phone in maybe 4 to 5 years. I'll miss our daily friendship and love for each other

My sympathy goes out to the family during your time of grief. May God's loving-kindness comfort you and help you through this difficult time. (Psalm 119:50,76)
