Joe really never met a stranger, the first conversation I had on the phone with Joe, he had me cracking up, there was never a dull moment during our conversations, working with him was fun.

To the Demarce Family,
I knew Joe as a kid growing up in Tecumseh. We were in many of the same classes in school. Joe was such a nice, gentle guy who was always smiling and who I'm sure grew into a wonderful man, husband and father. My deepest sympathy at your loss. May God be with you in this time of need.

Dear Kandy, Bethany & Tyler

It was only a couple of weeks ago that I spent time with you and Joe. I can hardly believe that I am writing this. I am so very sorry for your loss. I wish there was something I could say or do to take away your pain. Joe was a wonderful man and a great friend. He will always be remembered for his kind heart. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Please take care of each other. And if you need anything, please don't hesitate to call.

Kandace, Bethany & Tyler, It's been a lot of years since I've seen you but I was lucky enough to run into Joe every once in a while and most recently at Sears. I have always appreciated the help he gave me over the years and I've always appreciated our friendship. When you wrote in the paper Joe never met a stranger, truer words were never spoken. Thanks for his friendship ... my prayers are with you and your family.

Although we haven't had much contact over the years I have always thought of Joe as good person and friend. Growing up down the street from the Demarce family I have many fond memories of Joe and siblings. Joe was a very caring and thoughtful man and this is disheartening. My thoughts and prayers go out the Demarce family.
