THIS GUESTBOOK WAS A TOUCH STONE. IT WILL BE MISSED. THANKS TO ALL THAT RESPONDED HERE AND TO ALL THAT RESPONDED OTHERWISE. IT'S RATHER ODD TO KNOW HE'S GONE, YET HIS LIFE WAS FULL AND HE LIVED LONG. WHAT MORE COULD ANY OF US ASK FOR.

Joe was my grandfather's brother. Although I never got to know Joe, my father, Tom Lohman, always spoke fondly of his "Uncle Joe," and described him as having a great sense of humor. My thoughts go out to his friends and family.

FOR DAD AND ANGIE,
THIS WAS TOO PRETTY NOT TO SHARE:

TITLED - WE REMEMBER

AT THE RISING OF THE SUN AND AT ITS GOING DOWN,
AT THE BLOWING OF THE WIND AND THE CHILL OF WINTER,
WE REMEMBER THEM.
AT THE OPENING OF THE BUDS AND IN THE REBIRTH OF SPRING,
AT THE BLUENESS OF THE SKIES AND IN THE WARMTH OF SUMMER,
WE REMEMBER THEM.
AT THE RUSTLING OF THE LEAVES AND IN THE BEAUTY OF AUTUMN,
AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR AND WHEN IT ENDS,
WE REMEMBER THEM.
AS LONG AS WE LIVE, THEY, TOO, WILL LIVE,
FOR THEY ARE NOW A PART OF US,
AS WE REMEMBER THEM.
WHEN WE ARE WEARY AND IN NEED OF STRENGTH,
WHEN WE ARE LOST AND SICK AT HEART,
WHEN WE HAVE JOY WE CRAVE TO SHARE,
WE REMEMBER THEM.
WHEN WE HAVE DECISIONS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO MAKE,
WHEN WE HAVE ACHIEVEMENTS THAT ARE BASED ON THEIRS,
WE REMEMBER THEM.
AS LONG AS WE LIVE, THEY, TOO, WILL LIVE,
FOR THEY ARE NOW A PART OF US,
AS WE REMEMBER THEM.

To all who knew and loved my Dad, Joe Lohman: If you were able to attend the memorial Mass and Celebration of Life afterwards, you knew how special it was. If you were unable to attend, we knew your thoughts were with us. As we all move forward in life I know that Joe will pop into our thoughts now and again: when we see a beautiful golf course, when we play a game of cards, when we hear a barbershop quartet and especially when we hear a knee slapping story that we have to share. On behalf of myself and my sisters Jodi, Mary and Jean and our families, I want to thank all who gave their support and comforting words during my Dad's last months. Joe Lohman was, as my sister Jodi put it, larger than life and will be greatly missed by all of us. And Dad, hope you're having a great time "up there" with the family and friends that have gone before. Love you, Daddy-O,
Your daughter, Barb

Barb, Jodi, Mary & Jean, You were blessed in this life with a loving Mom & Dad and step Mom Angie! Your Dad was not just FUN, he was a classy Gentleman! Years ago, we went to hear him Sing with his Barbersop Quartet! What a treat! You each have some of his special trates, which he passed along! That is what makes the Lohman "SISTAS" so much FUN!! I am sorry that I could not attend his Service.
Love & Prayers for You ALL!

Jean (and all your sisters), we were glad we had a chance to meet your Dad while he was staying with you and Bruce; to finally put a face to the story. You will always cherish the personal time you had with him, and be comforted knowing you comforted and cared for him in his final months. He will be missed by all.

My Dad was loved by many and will be dearly remembered. He was so proud of his grandchildren, Dana, Krista, Adam, Jenna, Kate , Steph and Roman and his great-grandchildren Jacob, Ava and Baby Caleb. We know he is having a ball at the 19th hole with Gotch and all his buds and family! Have one for me Dad!

Personally, I never had the opportunity to meet Mr. Lohman, but felt as if I knew him well. I work with his daughter, Jean, and have heard several stories about what a great loving and funny man he was. Even up until his last moments in life, it sounded as if he still had a "humerous/joking" way about him. My prayers are with his whole family and especially by co-worker, Jean!!!

"Baby Joe" will always be in my heart. I loved that man all my life. So handsome, kind, tender, loving, gentle and funny. His smile and laughter are embedded in my mind. He was so proud of his beautiful daughters. Thank God we all had Baby Joe in our lives, what a blessing.
