Dear family members,
I am so sorry to learn of Joe's death. We were friends in Soperton
where we attended school together. Dent and Roy were good friends of my younger brother, John. Please know that the Ware family loved the Yates family. Dr. and Mrs. Yates meant so much to so many people. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you.

I really never got to know Uncle Joe
as much as the other nephews and nieces was able to, but I know that he will be dearly missed by all who knew him. I am the son of Dent Yates.

Dent, Harriett & families,
I was very sad to receive the email from Dent about Joe. Please know that I am very sorry for this tremendous loss to your family. It has been many years since I have seen or talked to Joe but remember his wonderful personality and sense of humor very well. I am fortunate to say that I knew him. I grieve for your loss of a husband, brother, uncle and a special person to many others.

I grew up in Soperton. The Yates family were well known. Dr. Yates(Joe's father) was our family doctor. I'm sure sorry to hear about Joe. The family has my deepest sympathy.

My heart is heavy - Joe was a friend as well as an "adopted" son. I will forever hold his memory in my heart. I am glad that he finally found real happiness in his marriage to MeLinda. May God comfort all of us who mourn his passing. "Momma Sarah"
