Our greatest sympathies and prayers go out to your family. We didn't know joe that well but we have fond remembrances p him from all the stories share with us by Jon. I can think of the time that they spent a great deal of time on lake oahe and joe caught the large northern and for some reason or another the fish came off the line and joe had to jump in and catch the fish by hand. The other story was joe hiking in the mountains taking photos and chasing after a bear and being surprised by him and ending with the bear above him and ending up with scratches to prove how close the encounter was. The loss will be tough but just think of all the great memories left in way too short of a period of time on our earth.

Tom, Irma and family: We are saddened with the loss of Joe but know your heartache and pain is so much more. We are praying for you for God to comfort you in the trying times ahead.
