The Clifton family, We all loved Joe, I can remember him from being 15 to driving around in his yellow chevy,To showing off Daniel,welcoming Jami,seeing him at the parade with the boys and Alicyn. How happy he was marrying Connie. He loved all his kids,and he had a huge heart and he really cared about people. He also loved his parents and grandparents and adored his sisters! No words are enough to describe what a giving man he was,he was just friendly with everyone. Say hi to your uncle for me,Joey. You will never be forgotten. I know you are shining bright in Heaven.

It seems so untrue. My uncle Joey would do anything for you. All you had to do was ask. The last time I saw him he was trying to help me put my girls cars seats in the car. He tried and tried to get them right:) To see or hear him laugh was the best. What a kind heart he had. I hope he is having a blast with my dad. Xoxo

Allicyn, your dad was a great man and always wave to you at bus stop before we left to Fremont. He was a very nice man and I have seen him the last time at Deaf bowling with you bonding together! May God bless Joel and rest in peace! Alicyn, hang in there and your dad is looking up for you! If you need me, you can talk to me.

I am so very sorry to hear about Joel's, (Joey), passing. He alway's could come up with a funny comment just at the right time. It seems like yesterday when we were all in high school, just waiting for the weekend cruise. Joel didn't have a mean bone in his body, and alway's mellow. He will be greatly missed.
