To my best memories, one is kind of sad. The other one is really fun. Joe was shooting at some thing on Oma`s fence when the bullet ricocheted and hit him in the large vein on the backside of his arm he had to go to the doctor, but while mom was bandaging him up, we used a girls Kotex. ! Another great memory of Joe is when he bought the Odyssey and took us all for rides. It was amazing one that scared the living daylights out of me when he blew out his motorcycle tire on I 40 at 90 miles an hour and called me for a ride to pick up his bike.

Joe, you will be sorely missed at Frys and especially by all of us in fuel. You were an inspiration to me and a great friend and mentor. I know you are enjoying yourself there, because to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord and that, my friend, is a wonderful place to be! See you when I get there!
Love you, Bro.

You were a true example of what a family man is. Thank you for the time you spent with me and for your dedication to the babies. You are and will always be an inspiration to me. Thanks again! Tell everyone I said hello and I will see you someday on the other side!
