Heaven has gained a wonderful soul. Deacon Joe was a great friend, along with Bonny, and shared many life events with us. I'm positive the angels have embraced him and the heavenly card game is now one richer. May God continue to bless you Joe, and your family.

Bonny, my heart is very sad and heavy. My deepest condolences to you and your family. there are not enough words to tell about what a wonderful man Joe was. He was so proud to serve as Deacon and he loved it with all his heart.
My fondest memories are when we went ballroom dancing those many years ago. Joe was the best dancer ever!
May God bless him in heaven. Love Tina

Deacon Joe will be sorely missed. He was truly a man among men. Gentle, kind, thoughtful, caring, genuine, humble, joyful, truly trusting in the Lord. Sundays won't be the same without him.
