Joe was a great cousin and a lot of fun to be around. We had some really fun times when we were young and would go to Mo. to visit or they would come to FL to visit us. I'm sorry we didn't get to see much of each other in our later years. My brother Paul and I are sending our love and prayers to Linn and all the family. I know Joe will be sincerely missed by all of you, but try to find comfort in the fact that we will all meet again.
