Bodie and all of the children...Scott and Chuck were such a big part of our being on Jarrett for so many years and bring back a lot of happy memories. Was sorry to read about Joe - all of our lives have taken different paths by now with Woody retired, I am aging also but still able to enjoy 9 grandchildren and one great. Just thinking of you all, Woody and Sue Eichler

The experience has been as tumultuous as it has been exceedingly engaged. Through it all with Joe and the Winkley family we have known great conflict, great accomplishment, so too sorrow and joy. An inspiration and great mentor, this was Uncle Joe.
