  1. Michael I’m thinking of you during this difficult time. Joe was good guy. When ever I ran into him he always gave me that big Joe smile. I’ll miss him.

  2. Mike- I am sorry for the loss of your father. May peace be with you during this tough time. RIP Joe

  3. Michael, Jim and I are so very sorry to learn of your Dad’s passing. Having known Joe for many years we have some wonderful memories of him we will cherish always. We saw him a few weeks ago and are thankful for that although our meeting was brief. He was a fun, thoughtful and kind man and we will miss him.. Our thoughts and sympathy are with you. RIP Joe

  4. I’m sorry to hear about the loss of Joe, I’ve know him a while and he was a very nice, kind and funny guy. I’m sure he’s up in heaven doing what he loves.

  5. We are saddened by Joe’s passing, but most grateful for his wonderful friendship through these many years. He was a kind, fun-loving, and caring person. Joe was “family” to us and many of his other friends. This past summer/fall Joe, The Pauls, and ourselves, were able to safely (on porch, and deck) spend time together enjoying the Good Life. These are precious memories. We love you Joe and send our condolences to your family and friends.

  6. Michael—so sorry to hear about your Dad. I was driving by Hoes HIll just last Friday on the way to the Farm and wondered how he was doing. I had no idea he was even sick. When I used to send out Christmas Cards he told me once he liked getting them…”Makes for Good Reading” …he said. ‘Way back in 1984 he helped me when I was building the house here on East Lake. I have a Great Picture of him from the “Point Days” that I will drop off for you at the Funeral Home. Maybe it will make you smile.

  7. So very sorry for your loss. Went to high school with Joe. My condolences to you and yours.

  8. Condolences to Joe’s Family.
    FYI for all his friends;
    I’m going to find a spot on Lake Texoma to make a lasting tribute to him.
    I really enjoyed his company when he came to Texas and when I came to Conesus and at the Islands. When we all get to the big Euchre Tournament in the sky Joe will deal because he got the first Jack.

  9. Hi Joe. So sad as I was just getting to know you better. Glad we connected at the pancake breakfast. Will miss you. Rest In Peace.

  10. Oh, this makes my heart ache. I had just reconnected with Joe a few months ago. My condolences to his family.
