Joseph Gump

I am so sorry for your loss, I hope to have half the courage as the Gump's

Joe,
You were so proud of your family. I think of your role as photographer at the reunions at the farm. Getting us all assembled was a feat in itself but I do treasure those photos. Also I can see you tooling around on that little tractor. (Like the little rabbit that just keeps going,) you didn't stop as long as you could do your thing. That applies to all of your life. Thanks for being. God bless Jean and those great kids, grandkids and great-grand kids. You will be...

I was saddened to learn of the passing of Joe Gump, my Godfather. I have such fond memories of Gump and Graff family interactions. My sincere condolences to Jean and their very large family. Patsy Graff Schlender

Dear Jean and All:

Coming across the obit for Joe just now on The Trib website has triggered a rush of nostalgia. Happy memories of nights at Ravinia. Gushes of admiration and awe as the two of you, having raised your kids, got serious about fiercely yet nonviolently opposing the war machine. Can only guess that Gandhi and Dr. King and Dorothy Day are there at the pearly gates, awaiting his arrival. You are all in my heart.

Jean and Family,
So sorry about Joe. We have fond memories of spending time with you two. Going to your home in Morton Grove for dinner and the play.
And spending a weekend at the farm, singing half the night and touring the wine factory the next day. You folks were a lot of fun. Joe and you are in our prayers.

Truly a man of great character who will be missed. My prayers are with the entire family.

So very sorry for your loss. Peace !
