Not sure what to say?

So sorry to get word of Mr. Polaha's passing. Remembering fondly our time as neighbors back on High Meadow Lane.

Joe has been a quiet supporter of his storyteller wife, Betty Ann and the Jonesborough Storytellers Guild. I so enjoyed seeing him, especially after I realized how friendly and likeable he was. I will miss him dearly. Betty Ann, you can talk to me any time you need to pour out your heart. Jodi, I know what it is like to lose a parent. My sympathy and empathy go out to all the family.

I WORKED WITH JOE AT RITE AID IN ELIZABETHTON AND HE WAS A GOOD GUY. PRAYERS FOR THE FAMILY

Hi Betty Ann. My name is Jim Case and I graduated with Joe from Notre Dame high and Villanova University. Some things I remember about Joe was that he was quiet until you got to know him. He still liked cars and planes in High school. He had a great personality and I wish I had the opportunity to get to know him better. Prayers to you and your family and I will keep Joe in my personal prayers .God bless. Jim Case

Praying that GOD will comfort and bring peace to his family.

Betty, Jodi and family. I am so sorry to hear this Please know you are in my thoughts and especially my prayers.
