Hey Daddy,
I´m just thinking about you and reading the comments left by those who really love you. I´m getting sad all over again because I be wishing you were here. I know you´re looking down on us. I miss you more than words could express. It´s been 12 long years and a lot has changed. I wish I could sit and talk to you one more time. Those talks are priceless.

Uncle Joe,
I can still hear your voice calling me " Tea Cakes or Sista Cakes " whenever you greeted me with a big smile. You will truly be missed. You were always "the life of the party" and was constantly making someone laugh. I will forever remember the backyard bar b que's and other family reunions. I will treasure the memories and You will always be my "favorite uncle". I am sure your great nephew...my son Noah (Squeeler ) as you would call him will miss you too !

Dear Uncle Joe,
You were indeed the life of the party (Samuel Jackson) and words can't describe what I am feeling right now. Just the other month at Aunt Nuggie's funeral, I kept watching the door looking for you and here you come in late but you are Uncle Joe and you can do that! Well, anyway, just know that I love you and I know that God that makes no mistakes and he loved you enough to take you to be with him. I wish you would have been here to meet my son when he arrives in May, but I know you will be looking down on us. You will definitely be missed but never forgotten! Kiss your sister, My Granny Red for me! Chalie Joe's eldest, as you would call me!

Joe Colbert Family,
Joe was a part of the Eugene McCray Community Center family for over a year before moving to another traingng site. I started at the Center about 18 months ago, and he is someone I'll always remeber. He put a smile on my face and brought joy to my heart on a daily basis. He will be greatly missed! The prayers of the Community Center and my family are with you all during the this time.
