Joe and Renae and family s, so sorry to hear of your loss. You must have several years of great memories to help sustain you, if your dad had even half the sense of humor you had during our good times at the Hot Rock store!

I could tell that Joe loved his family very much. Joe was a hard worker. I enjoyed working with him at Cummins and I'm happy he had a long retirement.
My condolences to the family.
