Diane and Family,
Words can't express the sadness I feel for you over the loss of Joe. My heart goes out to you now and in the days ahead. Joe was a great friend. So funny, so easy going and so giving. I'll miss Joe but I will always remember his great smile and the way he laughed. I'm here for you if you need me.

Life is so fragile yet we find that all too late...Joe was a symbol of the spirit of the eagle's he loved so much..maybe because of his love of
freedom, laughter, gentle yet bold nature. Joe lived each day to the fullest without fear of the unknown, of tomorrow, for it was yet to come.
Precious in his life above all were you, Diana, his wife that stood faithfully by his side thru each & every day, his children he loved so much, and not least of all (now with him at that great Rainbow Bridge)..his
best buddy..Harley. Prissy too, was a constant companion and loved dearly by her dear Joe. SO many memories, so much love and happiness to remember...God will give you all the support to get thru this tough time...and the circle of life will go on....We will miss you Joe ..your friendship and laughter will
always keep you dear to our hearts.
Until we meet again........

To Joe's Family.
I worked on the Macon-Bibb Fire dept with my friend for many years.
He was a class act in all ways.
He stood up for what he thought was right and beleived in the Power of God.
I say this as I witnessed him through his actions.
Now my Firefighter Brother will suffer no more as he is in Gods heaven and one day those that beleive will meet him in Heaven.
May the angles of the Heavens watch over the family.
