JOSEPH KARTEN

Joseph touched so many lives in the very best way. I am grateful I got the chance to know him as both a colleague and a friend.

On the anniversary of Joe's passing, we want his family and friends to know we are thinking of you all. This can be a difficult time and, in our experience, as a family, the best medicine is sharing happy times. Whatever might be going on in your busy lives, stop and share a happy or comforting memory, or maybe a poignant and difficult memory. Sharing helps us all move forward, hopefully never feeling alone for long. XOXO Sending lots of love and strength, Rosanne, Quinn and Arden

We had many conversations concerning life, religion, work, family and relationships. I am sad to not have the ability to say good bye or to further develop his dreams through to fruition. I hope for peace to his family.

Joseph was a great guy and fun to have at NRHS. Looks like he really found success. Bravo, Joe!
