I only recently came to know Joe as we ventured together on a Costa Rican mission trip. He was always there to lend a hand and was brimming with enthusiasm for continuing the mission with his church someday. I am saddened by the loss of such a giving person. I pray for peace for his family as you grieve his passing.
