Reverend Joseph Edwin Hercules

Dear Family of Deacon Joe,
We are sorry for your loss. It is the St. Matthias' family loss too. Joe invited me (Joan) to help take Communion to the homebound quite a few years ago. We always stopped and talked with Joe when our paths crossed at church or elsewhere. He has been missed in the past few months and will continue to be missed in the future.

We have been out-of-town since January 22, and just returned this weekend.

All of you are in our prayers as...

Dear Family we were very saddened to here Joe had passed away,we were good friends, our only consolation he is with Mary now who he dealy loved.How thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

We are very sad to hear of the loss of your loved one who filled many roles to many people. He was always kind, considerate, and helpful. He always recognized and remembered us and had thoughtful and kind words to say. That always impressed us and we appreciated those qualities. We will miss him. Take good care of yourselves and treasure your memories. God bless your family. Paul and Karen George

Dear Family of Deacon Joe,
We are so very sorry for your loss. Surely, though, it brings all of you comfort to know he is now without pain and resting in the arms of our Lord, reunited with his sweet Mary. We have prayed many prayers for all of you these past months and will continue to do so in these difficult days ahead. Joe was very, very proud of his children and grandchildren, and you all have been wonderful. How blessed he was! We will be leaving town and unfortunatly will not...

I'm sorry for your loss. I pray God gives you peace.Deacon Joe was my friend God rest his soul

To the Hercules Family,

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your dad! He was one of my favorite people at St. Matthias. My fondest memory of him was when he helped my Girl Scout troop earn their Silver Award when we were planning an event at the Gardian Angels. He was so proud of those girls and the work they were doing.

I will certainly miss seeing him at St. Matthias.
