As James Howell's stepchildren, we remember our early years with Joe and the family. Joe and Johnny helped us out quiet often with our floors, of course. Joe gave us our first pet, a beagle, which we named JoJo. We have many fond memories of those years. Please know that you are in our thoughts, prayers and hearts.

I didn't really know Joe but my Grandmother Dovie who passed away in June talked about her brother all the time. My sympathy goes out to the other family members to his dedicated son Johnny who my Granny always spoke of as well. I know he will be missed as we miss Granny but I know they will be have a Merry Christmas in Heaven!
