Joe has been a staple in our lives since Debra met him. I went to high school with Debra and spent many summers in Chapel Hill with Debra. Joe had such an infectious smile and laugh. He could light up any room. Joe and Debra has been such a blessing to my family. Every time and I mean every time one of my family members were hospitalized in Chapel Hill, they were there for us. Cooking dinner, bringing food for us or offering a place to stay, while we dealt with the illnesses. I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am for both Joe and Debra. They would never take a penny from us because in their words we are family! Joe will truly be missed. Debra please know that we are here for you, no matter what. We are praying for you and the family.

My sincere condolences to the family. Joe Dale always met me with a smile followed by his contagious laughter...on the morning of his passing, I stopped by as I did quite often, blew my horn and he would come out to greet me...but that morning I didn't know I was saying goodbye for the last time in a different way this time he didn't come out...yet God is awesome in how he moves...praying he gives the family strength and comfort during this sorrowful time

May God continue blessing the Farrington family. Joe Dale was a friend and classmate. CHHS class of 1979. So blessed to have had this brother to be a part of life's journey. JD always met you with a smile and encouragement. JD love to dress, look good and was a music connoisseur. We would laugh about all until we could no longer do so. A pure positive spirit. They don't make them like this anymore. JD will truly be missed but not forgotten. Resonate passion and positivity of life and spirit always! Peace and Love.. Kelven Hargraves
