Bill is going to miss Joe stopping over for garage talks. We will always remember chatting by the pool and all the funny things Joe did like when he sprayed the computer with ant killer. He was a wonderful man and will be missed. Marian please remember if there is anything you need just let us know and we will be right over.

Jeff and Joe formed a wonderful friendship and enjoyed visiting when we were at the Alipates.
Joe will be missed dearly. The best to all of the family. Joe was a man we are all so blessed to have had in our live's.

Chief Joe - In all my years of military service I never met a person quite like you. How can I ever forget weigh-in day when you brought your scale from home to check Bob Kleven and I. Dear old friend, May you now rest in peace.

To the Dutton Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with your entire family.
We had the opportunity to meet Joe at our future Son-In-Laws Graduation (Tony Dutton) and he was such a"pleasure" to talk with. Joe touched many lives and will be dearly missed.
God Bless you.

To my Godmother and Family-
Pammy and I are sorry for your loss.
I am a lucky man to have all of the great memories, of the great times, we had during the years. From the time as a kid, the Guard, the pool, poker and sittin around the house sippin a beverage.
Take Care
Love
