Not sure what to say?

I remember Joe Firment as Mr. Firment, and of course, his lovely wife was Mrs. Firment. He was a barrel chested "uncle" to every kid around, and she was a "surrogate mom" to every kid that wandered through the yard, mending scrapes and cuts and feeding us all. They lived right behind us in the development. Their home seemed to be always buzzing with happy activity, particularly when the big apple tree in their yard was attacked by us kids who insisted Mrs. Firment, and our...

We are so sorry to learn of Joe's passing. We got to know him during our many years working with him through GMAC. We had the utmost respect for him, his business ethics and integrity. But also enjoyed his quick wit and fun demeanor. His strong character was definitely passed on to his wonderful sons who followed in his footsteps running the business. Our thoughts and prayers are with Marianne and his beautiful family. With heartfelt sympathy, Kevin & Lou Werner

I'm sorry to hear of Joe's passing. He was a kind, fair and generous man. When I was a somewhat struggling KofC insurance salesman in 1983, he said, "I'm going to buy a policy from you to help you out." Condolences to the gracious Marianne and the family.

Remembering his big smile, his support of all AL sports and kindness, Grandpa Firment as the boys referred to him will be greatly missed!! Our sincerest and deepest condolences, The Simons Family

So sorry to hear that Joe is gone. He was a good brother-in-law and always made me laugh, even when he was stealing food from my plate:) My sincere condolences to all the family. Cathy Halter (formerly Firment)

I always looked forward to greeting Joe at Cleveland Browns games during the 1980's & annual Communion Breakfasts. May he rest in peace! Tom K. Lavelle CL 1967

I would like to extend my deepest condolences to the Firment Family. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Joe Firment buying my first newer vehicle back in 1988. He introduced himself to me, welcomed me to the dealership, took a puff on his cigar and said, "This is my son Jim, he'll take care of you. If you have a problem, you come see me." The rest is history. Had the opportunity to meet the other boys int he business and I have been a customer ever since. Sure, the dealership may have...

My deepest condolences to the entire Firment family. My family and I were a customer of Tom's for many years. Mr Firment was a very nice man!
