I am just finding out, that my friend, has sojourned to the other side of time into eternity. A very unsettling discovery that I'd rather not accept, because Joe was so full of love and life. Joe had a natural ability to befriend anybody!!! He seem to always see the best in people and situations. He cared about people and loved his wife, children, family, friends and neighbors. But, he also had a love for strangers. I learned this because I met Joe as a stranger and he showed me love as a brother and we quickly became friends. Joe will be sorely missed by myself and countless others including his family. May the Love of God our Father mend your bruised and broken hearts, as our beloved Joe enter into the promise of Jesus Christ our Saviour.

My deepest sympathies! What a wonderful person he was. I will always remember him as a warm and caring individual. He would always brighten my morning as I scanned into the Mill. I would be greeted with a smile and his greeting of "Good Morning Beautiful!" Always made my day. I will truly miss him. Rest in peace dear friend!!

My prayers for strength & love during this super difficult time go to Mrs. Flo, his children, grand babies and friends & family who loved Joe as dearly as I did. Joe was a great friend to me who could normally make me laugh and normally tell me about myself without hesitation. I´ll miss our conversations and our laughs. My heart definitely felt this one

I met Joe at Chris Jr´s college football game. He was so full of life, but most of all his laugh and joy left a lasting impression on me.
May you Rest In Eternal Peace in the loving arms of Our Heavenly Father.

We were both adults and raising our own families, but Joey was always my lil brother. Since I moved to Atlanta I hadn't seen my little brother as much as I would have like to. We had so much fun growing up I just can't believe he's gone. I will miss him, and I hate we didn't get to spend more time together as adults.

His big brother
