The respect and integrity of those present at the funeral today were a testament to my father's life. Thank you to those who have been there for him through it all, and to those who came to honor him. I have always been proud to be his daughter, but could have never imagined how many lives he influenced. I love you Dad

When I was injured, Chief Joseph came to my home to visit with my family & I. He never rushed his visits. His sincerity,poise and leadership will never be forgotten by those who served with him. I am honored to be one of them. Babbett, I wish you & your family Peace and Courage. Ret. Sgt Bob Mendenhall

R.J. and Leora, I'm very sorry to hear about the loss of your father. I will always remember how he treated my brother and me. I still have great memories of getting to spend the weekend at his house at Buckeye Lake. I'll be praying for the both of you to find comfort in such a terrible time. Once again, I'm very sorry for your loss. -Keith O'Reilly

Dear Babette,
I am so sorry to hear that Joe is gone. I love his photo in the obituary. He often gave us that same look when he came into Columbus in the middle of the night to deal with some mess we got ourselves into. He was never truly appreciated until he retired. He was a great man.

I was very sadden to learn of Chief Joseph's passing. It was an honor to work for him and his late father. He was always very supportive of the civilian employees of the Division of Police. He will be missed. My wife and I extend our sympathies to his family.

I served under Chief Joseph for many years. He was a proud member of the Honor Guard and I was fortunate to serve with him on that special unit as well. Many Columbus Police alumni went on to be police chiefs in other agencies which is a tribute to his leadership at CPD. To his family, especially Babette, I offer my condolences and prayers. He will be missed more than you know.
