Dear Loretta and family,

My deepest sympathy to all of you. Joe was a great, great man who will be truly missed by all that knew him. He was an inspiration. He saw the good in people and wanted the best from everyone and for everyone. Joe was a great family role model that I admired. I am so happy, Loretta, to have had you both in my life. I will treasure the great memories forever. Sincerely, Maggy Grier

Dear Aunt Loretta; Ken & Pat; Carol & Walter.

Our heart felt thoughts and prayers are with you all during this very difficult time. We have always enjoyed the good times that we had growing up with Uncle Joe and family through the years. It was Uncle Joe who inspired me to become an engineer, and it was also great that he knew that Justin had pursued engineering following in the same footsteps. May God give you His comfort, grace and peace to sustain you in your loss.

All Our Love,

John & Valorie
