Uncle Joe will be dearly missed. Joe loved his family and friends very much. He always stayed true to himself no matter what circumstances was happening in his life or in the world around him. He truly believed in living life to its fullest and always making people laugh. He loved to make people laugh and smile. He had a laugh that will be missed. You loved life and having fun. It is bittersweet your departing. You will be missed, but we are so grateful you are not here suffering or bedridden. A piece of our heart went with you when you journeyed on to Heaven. We will see you again. I know where to look for you when I get there. I´ll meet you at the Tree of Life along with Mommie, Poppa, Aunt Doris, Uncle George, Aunt Margarite, Papa Wilson and everyone else that have gone on before us. I Love You! LaDwynna

I would like to convey my sincere condolences to the Harris and Johnson family of whom is basically a part of the Stockman family for we were next door neighbors and shared many times together. Joe, as myself (we were close as brothers) and many of his friends would call him use to get into much mischief, fun mischief. I am very sad to hear of his passing and now he has a place in our dear Lord Jesus Christ house, may be rest in peace.
