On this 10th anniversary of your passing, I want you to know there isn´t a second that goes by that I don´t think of you and I don´t miss you. When your heart stopped beating mine broke in half. The emotional pain and sadness still remains as if it was yesterday. I´ve relived the last 14 months of your life over and over again. Did I make the right decisions by you? Was there anything left unsaid? Did I keep all my promises? So many questions remain in my heart. All that being said, I can only hope you are in the hands of our Lord and savior in peace and free of all fear and pain. I love you Joe. When God calls me home I will hug you and never let you go. We will be together for all eternity. Until then, I still have lots to do with and for our beautiful daughters and amazing grandkids. They are my joy, my pride and my life. We did good babe, we did good! Until we meet again, I love you and will always and forever cherish our life together on this earth. Rest easy. All my love and admiration to an amazing husband, father and grandfather. xoxoxo.
Love, Dizzy Di.
Miss you honey. Love you more.

I love and miss you my darling husband. I cherish the memories we made with our daughters and grandchildren. The girls are amazing mothers. They miss you so very much. I can see in their eyes and feel it in their hearts how much it hurts them. I wish I could make it better but you were always the one who could cheer them up or have that special way of turning things around. They miss you and love you so very much. The grandchildren are growing up so fast. They miss you so much also. Each one of them have talked about you or I talk about something you said or did to keep those memories alive. I see your face, I hear your voice, I feel your touch, I smell your scent and yet I cannot find you. I know you are with our Lord and one day I will be with you. Hugs and kisses to you, to our loving boxers and all our family members that are in heaven with you. I love you to the moon, stars and back. God bless you my Angel. Love, Di

Diane, your pain unfortunately is a necessity for you and your family to heal from a terrific loss. Joe was and always will be the love of your life. Thirty-six years together, I know are filled with many, many blessed and treasured memories of you and Joe with the family. God will be with you, just lean on Him. He will give you the strength you will need and carry the load when you can not. It is amazing what we can get through when we rely on our faith. George and I have you in our thoughts and prayers. May God bless you and keep you near.

I woke up this morning and reached for your hand, it was not there. It took a few seconds before the deep hurt and pain of losing you sank in. I cried and then I smiled because you were so good to me. I will miss our chats and plans for the future but in my heart I know you are in a better place. A place of peace and with others who have passed before you. I guess it will be like this for awhile because we had 36 wonderful years together. I love you Joe, I always will. Your kids and grandchildren adored you, as you loved them. Don't worry honey, we will be okay as time goes on. The fond memories will be my peace. We had an awesome Thanksgiving and Christmas last year. This I am blessed and thankful for. I love you to the moon and back my darling.

Di and family, I know it will be hard in the days ahead without Joe being here. There are no words to take away that kind of pain. May knowing he put up one hell of a fight to stay here as long as he could .....and that now he is no longer in pain resting in the house of our Lord. Earl and I are here to help you so please ask if there is something we can do. Love you.

I have known Joe all of my life and his family welcomed me into their lives and accepted me as a family member. I have many fond memories of Joe. One in particular was the time I used to babysit his daughter Stacy. One day Joe came home from work and he was concern about his pet fish that he raised in his aquarium. Joe was concerned that his old fish was not going to make it much longer and was regretting the day he would come home and find it floating upside down. So the next day Joe came home from work and he scooped up Oscar in a container and and Joe,Stacey and me drove to a lake nearby and set Oscar free. I could tell that Joe was relieved and was happy that he gave Oscar a chance of freedom. Joe had such a warm heart not only for his family and friends, but for God's creatures as well. God Bless You Joe & Diane and all of the Hyle family, I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

Sorry to hear about Uncle Joey. I will miss his laughter and his smile. But I know he is in a good place. I know pop-pop us glad to see him. But I know he will always be in my heart.
