May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
Ruth, Joe is the reason I started attending Hilldale Church. In my late twenties, Joe and two other men came to my house and invited me and my son to visit the church and I am still there. I'll never forget him for that day. He will be greatly missed.
Love to you and your family, and God Bless

I will remember Joe as a very compassionate person who loved the Lord and his family. I enjoyed being in his Sunday School class. He made our lesson very interesting. He was a joy to be around at all of our class gatherings. Prayers for his loving wife, his children and grandchildren. He will be greatly missed but has left all with wonderful memories .
