Brian, I am praying for you daily. Your Dad was a wonderful man. He would talk to about the Cooking Channel on television. He even challenged me at times on how to cook certain items. He was well respected and took alot of pride in his duties in Judge Dennision's Court. He and my father Virgil Fry were friends for many years. Please find comfort in knowing that you Dad is resting without pain. Please let me know if there is anything I can do.

Joe and I became friends in the late 70's and we had many common friends. Thank you Joe for being such a kind, thoughtful, caring person. He was always willing to help any one out, and did things for others very quietly. His greatest joy was his son Brian, and he loved his family without reservation. I am proud to have called him my friend. Love you always.

December 17, 2011

Joe was a good friend and co-worker to
me while at the Sheriff's Department. Many times Joe would do things to help others that a lot of people never knew
anything about, such was the case with my father. My father was an Attorney that on several occassions benefited from Joe's kindness. I will long remember how excited Joe was when he talked to me about his puppie. I shall always remember Joe and his kindness he
extended to me.
