Dear Dad,
It's been almost a year now and I still miss you every day. I wish you were still here with us but I know that you are in a better place.
While I was walking last night, I felt you were walking with me.
I remember how much you just wanted to walk again.
Until I walk with you in heaven. I will miss you every day.
Love You, Angela

We have had the wonderful priveldge of knowing Joseph for a few years. He always had a ready smile that when he did his eyes twinkled. He always appeared happy and that made others around him in a better mood. We remember how he was not to reseptive of hugs at first but after getting to know each other he was always ready for his hug. We know what a great impact he has had on his family and friends, and especially his wife Angie. It is something that will never be forgotten. Looking forward to seeing you again some day Joseph...until then we will keep all of your family in our prayers.

Joe,
I'll miss our Thursday night dinners, watching Wheel of Fortune - and sneaking that extra piece of chocolate when the girls were in the kitchen. I'll miss your stories; that great smile, your kind, inviting way about you - that made everyone feel at home when they dropped by for a visit.

The one thing I will remember until the day I see my dad again, is that we prayed together outloud! I will, never forget that moment!

Love you daddy!

To my dear friend Angela and her sweet sisters, sweeter mother,and all the family of Joseph,

After watching the video of Joseph being interviewed by his family at Jo-Ann and Jay's house, I realized just how very special Joseph was to all of his family, friends, and the world. He was a kind, caring, good man who lived his life putting others before himself. He spoke with an unselfish love of others and a wisdom of a man who lived a good life. I enjoyed watching the video with all of you very special people who truly loved him completely. I felt a very special bond with you all because I saw the great love that you all had for Joseph. More importantly, I saw the love that Joseph had for all of you; it was there in his sweet smile and the look in his eyes. He truly did make our world better by the way he lived his life. I hope you can all take comfort in knowing that Joseph A. Pindel's loving mark on our earth will never be forgotten because he made our world better and a whole lot sweeter. God bless you all.
