Memories and Condolences
for Joseph Viau
April 24, 2010
Dear Jim: I was shocked last night when you told me of your Dad's passing. I last talked to him in the National City bank in Grandview in December before leaving on an extended vacation in Florida. (That's why I missed the news). He told me that he was still dancing and had moved out of his old apartment (family insisted). He said that he loved his new digs-- all on one floor level. He looked terrific and ever the gentleman that he was...As you know, he taught me the ropes and I think rather enjoyed it! I'll always remember that he said fairness demanded that we look out for the property owner as much as for the state. I'm glad I had the chance to work with him. Bud

I was so sorry to hear of Joe's passing, too late to attend the services. Joe was a great man, always funny and upbeat. We will all miss him very much at the The Veteran & Vintage Auto Club meetings.

I hardly knew Joe but had the pleasure of seeing him a few times at St. Christopher’s and one fish fry at Our Lady of Victory . I will never forget the first time I met Joe. It was Christmas Eve 2008. My daughter was in from NYC. We went with Melba Miller and even though we were early, we weren’t early enough to easily get a seat for the 4:30 Christmas Eve mass. Melba introduced us and Joe found us a seat with his family. I will never forget it. I remember this moment fondly, my daughter feeling so welcome sitting next to his granddaughter and talking briefly before mass started.
Joe was a true Gentleman. I only wish I had got to know him better. I'm so sorry for your loss.
How you can show support

I send my deepest sympathy to Joe's family. I have know Joe for a long time as a special friend and dance pardner. Really been a pleasure to have him in my life. He always made me feel special, as he did many others.
I called and talked to him on his last birthday and I'm so glad we had the chance to share good memories. His hugs, cards and dances will never be forgotten. I'm sure Joe is in a better place looking down on his famly and so many friends which he loved so much and was so proud.

To the family of Joe, I am very sad to hear the news of his passing.

That was years and years ago, but we have exchanged Christmas cards since then. My thoughts and prayers are with all of the family.

As I read the paper this morning and saw that Joe passed, my eyes began to spill tears. I had the pleasure of delivering "Grandpa Joe's" mail for the last several years. He always met me at the door with a warm greeting. I was so said when he moved away earlier in the year. My heart goes out to the family. Joe, you will be forever missed..

To Jeff, Joy, and Viau family…we were truly saddened when we learned of Joe’s passing. The last time we saw Joe, he was with his family at church here in Jacksonville. He touched our lives in such a wonderful way. We always looked forward to seeing him at Thanksgiving. Every time I see the Bengal’s play, I will remember Joe’s love/hate relationship with them. We’ll miss his strong handshakes and tender hugs, but we’ll never forget Joe. Love and prayers to your family, Becki and Mike Hernandez
