Joseph J. Wemple

Joe,
I miss you so much. No words can define the emptiness in my heart for you.
I heard a Christmas Song just the other day. The words contained were " Someone special is missing this Christmas" the song went on about the two of them growing up together. I dedicate that song to you my brother.
I'm sorry for us ( the whole family) that you are not here. But I'm so happy for you- that you are there. God has another warrior on our side wacthing over us.
I know you're proud of...

To My Brother, My Friend, My Hero,
My heart breaks silently for my loss, my ears beg to hear your voice, my eyes wait patiently to read your e-mails that I know will never come. My sorrow is not for you for you are in a better place, my sorrow is for me because I miss you so much and must continue on towards tommorow without you.
I Love You,Your Baby Brother
Bruce

I was lucky to have been blessed with Joe as my Big Brother. Though I still cry at times because he's not here, I know I was sincerely the lucky one to have him as long as I did.
From elementary school to adulthood, My big brother watched out for me. He was so funny! I have to laugh just to think of his dry humor. Joe was a true "star" who's light will continue to shine long after he's gone.
Joe never pretended to be an angel- He was a very candid REAL person. If he thought it-...

Indian Prayer

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I an not there.I do not sleep.I
am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamand glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened
grain, I am the gentle autumn
rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,I
an the swift uplifting rush Of
quiet birds in circling flight.I
am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry, I
am not...

We are so very saddened by Joe's death and the deep heart break it brings. Please know Lil, Dick, Cindi, Bruce and Tiffany that our family has loved all your family for more than thirty years and Joe has honored all of us with his life. God is love and Joe gave his love to those who needed it the most.
love and prayers to all,
John, Gretchen, Pam and Richard

I just heard about Joe's passing and my sympathy and my prayers go out to the Wemple Family. It's been over 20 years but I'll always remember the very special person he was.

Just wanted to share a memory I will always have of Joe. He & I worked together at H W Davis. He had found a litter of kittens on the property and asked me if I wanted one. I said yes and reached out to take the kitten. He said no, he was taking it to clean it up so I wouldn't have to do it. It really was a mess. He so tenderly held that little kitten. He had a wonderful heart that many didn't always see.I'll always remember Joe for his kindness.
My prayers are with you.
