Joe, not a day has gone by that I have not thought of you at least once. I still can't believe that you are gone...it just doesn't seem real and it never will. I will never understand why God took you from us so soon...but I am grateful to Him for putting you in my path. Knowing you, seeing you, picking on you, and talking with you has been and always will be a cherished memory that I will hold dear & keep in my heart forever. You are an amazing person. You meant so much to me and so many countless others...I will never forget you my friend...xoxo

hey dad, i just wanted to say happy birthday. My best friend reminded me that she met you for the first time since Virginia beach vacation at your birthday two years ago today and was overwhelmed at your warmth and smile and hugS with an s u gave her when she left..I can literally "hear" her smiling as she tells me how you hugged her and asked her when youd see her next....you were truly a loving accepting person who would welcome anyone with open arms even if it was YOUR birthday you took the time to make her feel welcomed and special and part of the family. I hope i possess one tenth of the character i know you had. i am proud to share a name with you..always have been

I do not know where to begin because you held such a big place in my heart over so many years. I am heartbroken over your premature passing and I send my heartfelt condolences to you and your entire family, which I also consider part of my family. My fondest memories will always be of our being bowling partners. I always enjoyed that so much and looked forward to seeing you every week and loved your humor and ever so sweet disposition. We grew up together as teenagers and continued on to be friends forever. I feel privileged to have known you and to be your longtime friend, as well as a friend to your family. You indeed are one of the sweetest and kindest man one should ever have a chance to know and I am so glad that I got that chance and I will never forget you. To Sharon, Dwight, Christine, Joe, and all the rest...I am so sorry for your loss...my heart is truly broken and I feel such saddness...I will miss him more than I can ever describe and I will certainly not be the only one. Love him and all of you!

Joe, words cannot even express how much I miss you and all of the good times at Webb's; you making fun of me, your smile, your "attitude", your presence in general just made my whole day! I never imagined there would be a day where all of that would end. You touched so many lives and were so important and special to so many. You will NEVER be forgotten...no one will EVER take your place as a person, as a business man, and in our hearts. I pray that God comforts your family and brings them peace at this time and always. You were an amazing man and I thank God that He granted me the privilege of knowing you and having you be a part of my life and for that I know that I am truly blessed... <3 always, your pal, Tasha
