So sorry to read of lil Joes passing. He was a very good friend and we shared many fun times around West Bend. I now live in Spooner and would see Joe on my shopping trips to Hayward. My deepest sympathy to the family.

My deepest sympathy to the Sontag family. I will always remember many summer weekends playing hide & seek and Joe scaring the "bejeebies" out of us younger cousins!!! And his great smile!
Love Lori Stewart & family
