Jozeph and I

I still remember you, Joseph. This year I started building a recording studio, and I remember that you also told me to do it. Separation will not last forever and we will meet with the Lord in heaven!

Joseph is always in my heart. To me, he, as if still on earth, somewhere in Pennsylvania. I am very sorry that when I was in Pennsylvania in 2016, I could not find him, because I did not have an address or a telephone. I worked with Joseph for 6 years in a Christian studio in St. Petersburg, Russia. When he left Russia forever, Joseph told me that I should build a recording studio for Christians. I took his words to my heart. And this was in tune with the vocation that God called me to be a...

To Mike, Kathie, and other family members my sincere condolences on the loss of your Dad. As you know, he and I started a single parents group at First Assembly of God in Shrewsbury, NJ, and then I helped a bit with the Bayshore work. He was always moving forward in the work of the Lord, and my own spiritual life greatly benefited from my association with him. Love to the family....Ginny Mendes

Joe was colleague and friend, we lived and worked at the same time in St Petersburg, Russia. _ Until we meet again in heaven, farewell dear friend. _ "And I heard a voice from heaven, saying, "Write, 'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on!'" "Yes," says the Spirit, "so that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow with them." _
Revelation 14:13

I became friends with Joey in 1965 at a club in New Lebanon, NY called the Show Boat where his band the "New Dimension" played nightly to a packed house for 2-4 week long engagements. Joey & the bass player Paul Gillingham would often come to my house occasionally for my Mother's home-cooking. She always enjoyed their company. After a couple years the band broke up and I lost touch with Joey. I tried for years to reconnect with my old friend and finally received just one email from him some...

Joe was a fantastic guy. He carted our family to church and dinner in Springfield when we became missionaries. I stayed in his place in St. Pete. Russia with my son as we launched Royal Rangers International Eurasia. Great stories! Till we gather on That Day with you Joe, we'll miss you. Blessings and prayers to the family members.

Joey, I am very sorry that I could not see you last summer. But I know, dear brother, that you are now, where our Lord Jesus, and you rejoice with Max. I remember the words that you told me that I need to build a recording studio. I will do it. You are always in my heart. I offer my warmest condolences to all relatives

We were honored to have him on our missions team. I like visiting with him and seeing his passion in everything he did. He was a good friend. Terence Hall, Walla Walla, WA.
