Pam and Channing,
Words can't begin to describe the loss and sorrow we feel as a couple of our colleague and good friend!! Joe was a good man, a generous soul, a wonderful boss, but mostly a great friend! It will be extremely difficult for each of us to get through a day without seeing his face!! Please except our deepest condolences and our apology for not being able to be there with you! Joe's legacy is yours now and we will do everything in our power to help you carry it on! He will be deeply and sadly missed by us both! If you need anything at all, please don't hesitate to contact either of us!
May God keep his tender arms around you and comfort you all during this trying time!

Words cannot begin to describe the loss we feel with our beloved Joes' passing. This man was a jack of all trades and mastered everyone's heart in the process. He was fearless, brave, funny, silly, intelligent, loving, a prankster, kind-hearted and would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. Our dear friend, Joe, you will forever be engraved in our hearts...rest in peace my friend...til we meet again.

Joe was a dear friend and I will miss him immensely. He always lifted me and made me smile when we would visit. It will take a long time to fully accept his being gone. Pam and Channing, I am so sorry for your loss. I pray that Joe finds peace in Jesus' arms and that you also find comfort in God, family, and friends.
