Listen World, Everybody should have an "uncle Joe". One day, i was stationed in Hawaii and i was becoming a man and having problems. I asked my uncle what should i do. He said, did you hear about the man who had just lost his left side. i replied no! he said well he's alright. i can share many more stories about me and my uncle, but i would only cry. like now. Uncle Joe should has always stop me from shooting myself in the foot, with these positive parables. Life for me is already hard without you unc'. I'll tried to do my best and remember what you always told me. Be cool! This is really hard to do, i miss you man . love your friend and nephew. Corky!

How deep the loss...of a father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin, friend and teacher. In his lifetime he had to endure the loss of his father, mother, sister, son and so many other beloved family members. Deep was his loss... More than forty years ago he touched my heart in a very profound way. He held my hand and changed my life. Joe always marched to the beat of a different drummer, to some special music that no other ear could ever hear. He was blessed in so many positive ways. He was an artist, intelligent, funny, a free thinker and spirit. He created a very unique personal style that was true to his individuality, talent and strong will. He had a very special quality that always reflected his calm and gentle inner spirit. When you saw his soft smile it was like magic because a smile would instantly appear on your face. The world will never be the same without him. How painful it will be not to see his face, his smile, to hear his laughter or just sit quietly with him and have a conversation. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to know and love him. Joe, rest ye gentle spirit. How great the loss...How deep the pain...

I would like to give my condolences for his family and pray that god give them strength. Joe was a very funny and loving person from what I knew of him. God always gives us something that stands out and his was his personality. He joked around at every family gathering at my mother in laws house and was just a very positive person that always talked about computers from where he worked. He brought joy and pride to the family. He was a good person and his spirit will live on for ever and ever.

My heart and prayers is with the family. God Bless from the Chapple family.
