JOE LEO POLLOCK

Miss you joe and Sydney

Joe you were so kind to me and my kids . I think of almost daily still . What a great friend you were to me . You took care of me when things in my life were so rough at times . I will never forget you Joe . I only wish I could´ve been there a little to care for you when you were ill . I know God has a design on each of our lives . I´ll always miss you friend! I´ll always love you too .

I would like to extend my sincerest heartfelt condolences to the family for the loss of their dear brother , my friend Joseph Leo Pollock. I only learned of Joes passing last Sunday and have not been able to put closure in my heart that he is no longer here with us on earth .It truly doesn't matter if some time has passed since you last saw a friend because a friendship like the one I shared with him is heart strong and the memory a lasting one. What I will remember about him is the many hours we circled bodies of water fishing and fishing. Baiting hooks changing lures and casting .There was an unspoken language I learned while fishing with Joe. Everything I know about fishing I learned from him and I can hardly look at a fishing pole or tackle with out thinking of him to this day. Joe had a great voice when he sang and belted out a few Toby Keith favorites from time to time .Joe loved whole milk and could drink nearly a gallon or two a week just by himself .He preferred cocoa krispies over cocoa pebbles. He attended basketball games when my daughter played and hung out with my kids and I .My dad loved him and so did I. I was with him when his beloved brother died and he was there when I met my birth mother for the first time. Joe had a quiet spirit mostly which made him an excellent listener. What do I want to say about Joe ? Many many things but mostly that we were friends and the kind of friend he was will never be forgotten. I am sad that his beautiful smile is gone from this life as we know it but it can never be erased from our hearts. May the peace of the Lord be upon you dear Joe. Rest in peace. With Love Susan

I was 11 years old when I first met Joe my dad wasn’t around and he was dating my mother, he took me fishing and treated me with kindness and respect. throughout that time I used to watch him make his own Fishing Lewers and other MacGyver crafts I thought he was neat, especially when we took trips to the pawnshop I still go in to pawn shops and think about him at least once a month. Sometimes we would go over to his mothers house and swim in her pool. 10 years later I started a band and he came to see me perform and he even bought one of my bands T-shirts which meant a lot to me. Thanks for all the good times Joe rest in peace brother!

The first thought that came to my mind when I learned Joe had died was how he had the ability to light up a room with his smile. I chose to remember Joe like that. It has been a couple of years since I last saw him. Through the years we all spun out in different directions..meeting new people, experiencing new things and forming our lives. We tend to lose contact with people we care about and take life for granite. We don't think about death and how it will affect you when someone is gone. But knowing that smile will not be seen again until God brings us all together again hit hard. May he rest in peace. Friends and family are in my prayers. He will never be forgotten.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Betsy and Family,
I am so sad for your loss of your brother, and your other younger brother. I share in your sadness as I lost my only sibling 3.5 years ago. Please know that all of you are in my prayers.
