Not sure what to say?

I still think about Joe a lot. I worked with him at Virg's for many years and always had a good feeling whenever I saw him. When my granddaughter was a toddler and growing up after, he would always give her a dollar when I took her Virg's Landing. Such a kind man who loved everybody and an excellent fisherman.

I Love and think of Joe often. He was a fixture at Virg's Landing in Morro Bay, a frequent fisherman on the boats and made everyday a pleasant one for many people.

Still think of you often Joe and now my mother has joined you, and my sister and my dad and other people that I knew. Cooper I heard is there too. I will treasure all the things that you gave me and time you spent with me Joe. thank you for being in my life. Please look out for me now too if you can, I know that's the kind of person you are. I've been wearing the jacket you gave me too. thank you Joe, until we meet again..

Much love to Joe and his wonderful family. He helped make working at Virgs Landing a real pleasure for many years. He was kind to everybody and it was an honor to know him.

The time i spent with Joe at Virg's will always bring a smile to my face. Joe was always so generous and laid back.We shared some good times and many laughs. Love you Joe, R.I.P

I loved Joe. He'd be at my store at the crack of dawn to meet with his friends and get a hot cup of coffee. If I was behind in my work he'd pitch in and help get me started. When we sold the store, he and his buddies who met there (almost daily), pitched in and bought me Virg's Landing sweatshirt. I still have it. I think I'll put it on now.

I love you Joe.Thank you for being my friend...

I love you Joe, I miss you, please hug my sister and dad for me, I will write something better later. Thank you for being part of my life and heart, and caring about me.My life is better for having known you, and my world is dimmer for your leaving. .......love your kind family as well.....you did good Joe......
