I WAS SO SHOCKED TO HEAR ABOUT JOE'S PASSING!! HE WAS IN OKININAWA ALONG WITH TOM AND THE HGTS "GROUP". HE ALSO WAS IN TOM'S AND MY WEDDING IN 1947. I'M SURE HE AND TOM WILL HAVE A LOT OF LAUGHS. "RIP" JOE. THERESA SHULL

Proud of you Dad. You chose joy in the midst of sorrow, peace over division, and reconciliation instead of resentment. Your example has proven to me, more than anything, of your faith in Jesus Christ. You loved well Dad and have now entered God's Peace. Thanks for being a man worthy of emulating in so many ways.

I am so sorry to read of Joe's passing. My Dad (Fuzzy Frost) and Joe were the best of friends. I often talked to Joe during my Dad's illness. I'm sure they are in heaven now swapping tales and having great laughs together. My sympathy to all of the family.
