Evelyn and family,

I am sorry for your loss of your brother. He was a kind and thoughtful brother and friend.

Joe was one in a million. He loved going to the CR baseball games, and keeping up with his favorite team, the Chicago Cubs.

I know when it was his time to go, Joe marched right through the gates of Heaven as he heard loud clapping and yelling. Waiting for him were the many Cub fans cheering and singing Joe! Joe, Joe! to their favorite Cub fan! Welcome home, Joe!

We are all blessed to know have known and loved Joe. He will be missed very much.


Love,

Illene Hathaway
