Joseph Okey Jr.

Diane and family,

I was saddened to learn about Joe's passing. He was a good person and I enjoyed seeing him in our travels in the textile industry and the related meetings and conventions. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My condolences to Marianne, David, Paul, and Diane. Joe was a great friend. Though we lost touch over the last few years, I always enjoyed playing golf and telling stories in the "dungeon" at MPCC with Joe. I'm proud that I was one of his many "bubbas".

Diane , You and Joe both touched my Heart down in Aruba ! I will Treasure those Memories we had in the Sun and Sand !!! I will give a toast to Joe ..... with a Smile .... and a Margarita !!! My best to You and Family ..... with a long distance HUG from N.J.

Betty and I wish to extend our heartfelt condolences to the entire family. Joe was a true and cherished friend for almost 50 years. Tailgating with our fellow Wolfpackers, trips taken together and the good times shared will always be remembered. Joe, thank you for brightening the days of so many of us with that smile and fun loving attitude. You will never be forgotten.
