Read MoreI am sorry I waited so long to send my condolences. My 6 year old daughter Mc Kenzie was one of his students and v-ball buddies. He was so good to her. She still talks about going on the carousel and seeing Charlotte's Web with him and Cristi. I want you to know that he made such a impact on my daughter's life. Your family is in our prayers every night. Mc Kenzie will always miss and love him dearly.

Frees Family- So sorry about your loss. Joe was my son's gym teacher at countryside. Last year my son hurt his foot and Joe took the time to look at it and showed me how to wrap it right. He went above and beyond and truly cared about the kids he taught. He will be missed at Countryside. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
