Joseph Robert Overton

My heart and prayers are with your family. Uncle Joe was the kindest man and he was always so enlightening. Bless you all. Lisa J Murphey

His wit, intelligence, kindness and wisdom will be missed. Rest in Peace, Joe.

My name is Margie Mays Lester. My father, Joe Allen Mays, also worked on the West TN Agriculture Experiment Stations. I lived on the Station until I was 1976. I thought the world of Mr. Joe Overton! He worked in the Greenhouse next door to my house. His daughter and I were friends! I still live in Jackson and work at JSCC. The family were blessed to have their Father as long as they did! I am sorry for you loss!Love, Margie

I well remember meeting with Mr. Joe during my interview and I took a liking to him immediately. We had many laughs and enjoyable times working together and then each time we met after his retirement. I will cherish the memories and while I know that you are sadden like all of us, yet we rejoice in knowing that he has received his eternal reward and is rejoicing in heaven.
