As a neighbor living near Joe and Willetta, I was impressed with their garden. Joe answered all my questions and added insights to successful gardening. We even video taped each plant as we discussed it. Joe was my friend in many ways and will always be. May Heavenly Father comfort you Willetta and your family at this time.

So sorry to hear the sad news about Joe. I will miss seeing him at the 398th BG Reunions, he was always a lot of fun. Now he joins his WWII crew once again, the Doerr Crew, all waiting for him at 30,000 feet. Keep 'em Flying Joe.
