Joseph William Straube

Joe was lovely and kind. Never, ever did I hear a harsh word from him. He would often come in to the office to work for Barrington Neighbors, and would slip in so quietly that I didn't know he was there and would get the shock of my life when I finally noticed. I loved how he and Sara would look for one another if they both happened to be on the church campus at the same time. I will miss seeing him cook the hot dogs for Trunk or Treat. In short, a gentle presence who loved the church and the church loved him back. - Erica Valle

Joe was a good, kind, and gentle man. It was a privilege to know him. May he Rest In Peace.

I am so sorry to say Goodbye to Joe. I had the privilege working with him for over fifteen years and still kept in touch. He will be greatly missed.

Sorry for your loss, Sherii and Lori.
