Joe will always be on my mind as a Godly Man with whom I loved .... Joe and His precious wife Eloise....Have and always were there for me in good times and bad...mentoring with the word of our God.. for a young man in times of need. Joe went out of His way to teach me the art and science of wild mushroom hunting. God blessed me with His presence and I shall always hear His voice as he spoke in a gentle yet firm way with the truth...I weep in his absence but know someday I shall meet him in a better place... A place with no pain....My love to everyone in memory of a true and Godly man. Rick Robison

Joe was my father-in-law, and though I've only known him for a relatively short time, it was enough to see what an amazing man he was and how much he loved, cared for and protected his family. I wish I had known him more.
