They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear. (unknown)"

Dear Theresa, Debbie, Julie, Angie and family. Lisa and I are so sorry to hear about Joe's passing. I treasured my time growing up on Furry Road and have always held Joe and "the Moorman's" up as model of what loving, caring and helping neighbors and friends should be and have tried to live up to that model wherever I go. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

I knew Joe from our years at Western Electric, through retirement from then Bell Labs. A very positive person, and with a twinkle in his eyes, he was always willing to help with whatever was needed. And we laughed a lot, too. I was so sorry to read of his passing. My condolences to his family.
