Not sure what to say?

Uncle Joe was very special to my family. We were thrilled that he was able to travel to California to see us, and he became a favorite of my kids, too. We will miss his colorful, newsy letters...I'm so glad I kept them! We love to think of him with Aunt Lillian...our prayers are with our cousins, JoAnn and John.
Much love to Joe -

Back in the 90's I worked at Amoco and Joe was my favorite customer, then up until a year ago, I worked for his Dr. and got reaquainted with him. He loved his wife and he took such good care of her, the kind of man every woman would love as a husband!! Had the pleasure of having lunch with Joe at Keystone with a couple ex-co-workers and he showed us all off to the other people living at Keystone, as if we were his kids. I will truly miss Joe, he was one of a kind!!

We will really miss Joe, he was one of our "special patients". Always had a kind word and most often toting a fresh bouquet of roses, from their own rose garden. Even after selling his home, the roses still kept coming for his "girls" as he called us. You and Lil are reunited again.

I am so sorry to hear this news. I met Joe and Lil when I became employed at C-SC in the early 1990's and found them to be faithful to Culver-Stockton. I can only say good about him. I will miss him.
