Joe you know you were a very respected and loved friend of mine. I loved you from the day I started attending high school to the day my sister found you for me. We became great friends again and Squenchey was right there with us. God bless you my friend. I sincerely miss you. Even though I expected to see you every time I came back to Albany I hope and pray I will be praising God with you in Heaven. I miss you my brother! I have enjoyed every conversation we have had over the last few years. However, we will talk again in Heaven.

My handsome uncle, where do I begin? I can always remember as a child when you'd see me you'd give me the biggest smile and say the famous "hey niecey" as u and the rest of my uncles could only say. And you continued that until my adult age aswell, it always made me feel good & loved as I would always return the smile. You will be missed more than words can explain...When u see Grandma kiss her cheek for me, as I'm sure if she were still here she'd still be calling me "Lisa" lol....Well uncle rest peacefully and enjoy your new home.

P.s. I always thought u were the most handsome out of all my uncles(smile), Love LaKia Snell- Brace

We grew up calling him "Jr" and then as an adult he became "Joe" the same person regardless of what we called him. Whenever I saw Jr he always had a kind word for me; he will be missed. Family take comfort from the memories you made with Jr during his lifetime may they sustain you during this difficult time.
