Dr. Ohaver, Wanda, and family:
I am so sorry for your loss. Joe O touched so many people in so many ways. He was so proud of Taylor. Everytime we spoke on the phone or saw each other in person, we always talked about her. Her horses and the great accomplishements she was making. My heart is aching but I am sure it is nothing compared to all of yours. Just know that he was loved by many and will be missed by many. My prayers are with you all.

Dear Aunt Wanda and Uncle Delano, Mary, Sue, And Taylor, please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers everyday. I was so deeply shocked and saddened to hear of losing Joe too soon. I feel very blessed to have gotten to see him again, after so many years, at Matt and Heather's house in Indiana-2006. He looked so well and just like "Joe"! The smile, kindness, and great sense of humor. I will never forget seeing his reunion with his beloved boxer, "Tubbs" after a long separation. It brought tears to all of us that witnessed such a sweet thing. It seems like just a short time ago when we were just the big group of funny cousins, at all the family get-togethers, sitting at the famed "kid's table". In this time of grief, please know that there are so many people that have wonderful memories of Joe and that is the biggest accomplishment in life....to be remembered and missed. Love, Corie, Michael, and Samuel.

Aunt Wanda, Uncle Delano, I cannot express how sorry I feel for the two of You and for the rest of Your family. It has to be one of life's most difficult tasks to say goodbye to a child and I sincerely hope that none of our family has to experience ever again what You two must be going through. Please know that You are in my thoughts and that I mourn with You. You are not alone in Your grief. Much Love,

No words can ever ease your sorrow but please know that wherever Joe was he was loved by all and he will never be forgotten for his great sense of humor,his great smile and his ability to always make you know he really cared, and never worried about himself. In the 23 years we have been friends he always made sure I knew he was there for me if I ever needed him. My condolences to the entire family Joe will be greatly missed.
