"Joe Louis, "Mississippi-Our Brother," You were a character, never a dull moment. Growing up with you. You kept us laughing. We will certainly miss that smile of yours. It was the grin we had to worry about! Shenanigans soon followed. Joe was fiercely protective of his family. His weekly phone calls to us will be missed. "Just checking on y'all." Our social butterfly! Joe was a loving son, brother, uncle, nephew, and cousin to many. His kind spirit, warm smile, and genuine Heart touched many lives. His memory will live on in our hearts forever.
