Dear Laurie and Inman Family,
My heart is filled with such sadness for you and all of Joe's family. He was loved by so many. Joe was fun and easy to be around.
No pretenses; just an honest goodness.
After his death, I pulled out old photos dating back to 1970 of our group of friends through the years. San Luis, El Golfo, birthday parties, regular ol' keggers, picnics in the desert and camping trips with the kids. A pictorial chronology spanning 47 years evidencing Joe's love of family and friends.
I am so sorry I wasn't able to attend Joe's funeral to pay my respects to a dear friend. Please know I was there in spirit. May wonderful and fond memories bring you all comfort during this difficult time.
Love, Christy Olesek

Dear Inman Family,
From the day I met Laura at NAU in 1975,then the children as Laura and I took our master classes together, to meeting Joe at our Elks club enjoying our R & R, then working with Brandon,the Inman clan is (was) an exceptional family.

I wish I had the words to comfort you at this time. May he rest in peace.
God bless you in this time of sorrow.
