Guestbook

  1. When I saw Joe in later times, I was always reminded of my Dad, who he resembled very much, so I couldn’t help but like him. He was always a gentleman and had a positive outlook on life. I pray that GOD will keep you in the palm of HIS Hand, dear Joan

  2. Joe was a dear friend and loved to tell the story about introducing Gary and me at the Exxon Credit Card Center back in 1991. We married in 1994 and were so happy to have Joe and Joan at the wedding; we’ve been blessed by their friendship all these years. Joe and Gary shared many a round of golf, and Joe served as honorary grandfather to our daughters. We will miss him and pray for peace and comfort for his family.

  3. Joan our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of Joe’s passing.
