I will always love and miss Joe. My 'lizard' partner! How much fun we had with him in our family! I can still hear auntie Barbara and uncle Rudy Tavares hollaring at all the noise we'd make. My prayers are with you all.

To the Dunston family,
It's the laughter we will remember.. "Running in and out of the library as kids, Joseph singing Pat Benatar's 'Love is a battlefield' at the top of his lungs as we struggled to define ourselves as young adults in cutoff t-shirts and punk rock hair=dos..." whenever we remember, the way we were.
I will never forget him.
May you find comfort in knowing that your loved one touched the lives of so many others and gave them the gift of many happy memories
Our deepest sympathy,
The Jones Family

To the Banks and Dunston family...
When someone we love passes away,
We ache, but we go on;
Our dear departed would want us to heal,
After they are gone.
Grief is a normal way to mend
The anguish and pain in our hearts;
We need time to remember and time to mourn,
Before the recovery starts.
Let's draw together to recuperate,
As we go throught this period of sorrow;
Let's help each other, with tender care
To find a brighter tomorrow
