I will miss Uncle Joe very much. It was always a great joy to sit and talk with him and Char. I wish I could have known him better. I will treasure the time we did share. From his photos I could see he was a very happy man (he always had a smile on his face).

Char,
I was deeply saddened when I read the Minot Daily News this morning and noticed that Joe had passed away. He was a great guy and will be missed by many. I truly enjoyed our visits when he worked for trio at UND and all of his emails after he retired. Take care and God Bless you and your family during these difficult times.
