Allison, my deepest condolences to you and to your children and the entire Sturm family. I don't get the city newspaper and was upset when my sister who substituted in the School office at SJB so the teachers could attend Joe's funeral, just happened to mention the name. Please accept my deepest regrets and I will be offering up an hour of adoration in front of the Blessed Sacrament for you and the entire family. God bless; you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Seems like forever ago growing up knowing Joe at St. John's and Luers, and later getting to know Allison on walks to Luers together. Many fond memories come to mind! Please accept my sympathies for the loss of your husband Allison.

During our sister Vicki Woehnker's last days Joe came by with cookies and we caught up a bit on our respective families. Your family in in our prayers. Cheree HIllenburg

I still carry with me great memories of Joe. Not just memories of sitting in the Tacoma kitchen or driving around in that green dart or swimming across Lake Monroe in April or playing pool in the Libbing basement. What I remember the most was Joe's ability to love. His unconditional love set a standard for me that has been hard to live up to. I will always remember Joe with a smile on my face. His impact on my life, in those "formative" years, and the bonds we shared.
