Joe wrote the book on inspiration, and then lived it every day. I will miss this great man. My heart is with Teresa, and I pray for her strength. Word of this loss came to me from Virginia today. Please call if I can help in any way.

Joe was a great boss, he was patient, understanding, a good teacher and reflected God in his actions. We'll continue to pray for all who are missing him right now, remembering that we'll see him again soon in heaven!

There are many wonderful memories of Joe- I would ride the combine with him during harvest time in the fall and just listen to his stories and his extensive farming knowledge and experience. He was a gracious and giving person - another favorite story of mine was when we visited his grandparents (my uncle and aunt), Uncle Victor and Auntie show us a very nice coffee table Joe had made for them and they were so pleased with the gift. There will be many who have memories of Joe - that is important at this time. Our sympathy goes to his family and friends - treasure the memories.

I got to know Joe many years ago when I first joined 4-H in the Farmer Lad's club. Over the years Joe always had a smile when we would see each other in a store!
