Dear Stella,Penny,and family
We first met at a car show under the wing of a B-17. It was instant fun with new friends.
We always looked forward to seeing Joe, Stella, and Penny at Stude meetings and finding out what Joe had "been up to lately".
One of the many stories we liked best was Joe's "new" Studebaker that came with a free snake.
Thanks Joe for the memories.

Penny and family,
We are very sorry for your loss. The few times I was able to meet your dad, he was always a very kind and funny man. May he rest in peace.

Stella, Penny, Pam, Paula and Polly,
Joe was such a fun-loving guy as I remember him. He was always a kidder and always had a laugh on his lips. It has been ages since I've seen him, but as I look back I always remember him smiling. I'm glad he was a part of my "growing up" days. I know he will be missed greatly and I keep your family in my prayers as you go through this time. May God Be With You.

Penny and Daughters: It was a privilege to know your husband and father through The Studebaker Drivers Club. 'Always enjoyed listenting to his stories, and I remember his talking about his high school reunion a few years ago when no one from his class had passed away; remarkable at the time, considering it being the class' 50th Anniversary, I believe he said!
And he drove that gold Silver Hawk everywhere; a real "Studebaker man."
Godspeed and RIP, Joe.
