The Lusher´s were a second family to me in the 80´s. I could turn to Joe and Joyce for parental guidance that I didn´t feel comfortable going to my own parents. They were there for me no matter what. I´ve cherished their love and guidance ever since and it hurts my heart to learn of Joe´s passing. All my love and prayers to Joyce, Kim and family in these difficult times.

Joe was such a kind hearted person, always putting others before himself. I remember while he worked evenings when sporting events were going on at CCMS he would treat the teenagers working the concessions, gates and gymnasium like his own sons/daughters. So much so that Joe would buy them Christmas gifts just because that´s who Joe was. He will be greatly missed and this world and community was better because of having him in it. My prayers are with all of his family and friends.
