Buddy, we remember you dad from the different gatherings you had at your home. He was a quiet, gentle man with a nice smile. Dean enjoyed talking with him on several occasions. We know it hurts to say goodbye, but a part of him will always be in you. We love you guys.

Joe and my dad Jack Blair became friend when my parents moved to Hersheys Mill aobu 25 years ago. After my dad's accident and move to Bellingham, Joe continued to visit him regularly. When he would arrive, my dad would say, gassing up the car. My dad looked forward to his visits and I know will miss Joe. I had the priviledge of meeting Joe several times. He was a wonderful and kind person. Our deepest sympathies to the Caton family. Joe is at peace with our Lord.
