Millie, our sincerest sympathy on Joe's passing. I certainly enjoyed our chats.
His wisdom and conversations were greatly appreciated. And, I feel blessed for knowing him. His cheery attitude and his belief in the Lord were also an inspiration.

I had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Wise over the course of 20 years from various businesses in the Dekalb area....since I was 18 and working at his dry cleaner. Everyone once in awhile we would just chat about life and love and faith. I am sorry to see he's passed, however I take comfort knowing that he's at rest. Goodbye Joe, you were truly one of a kind
Deepest condolences going out to the family and friends
