So sorry to hear of Joe's passing. He and I were in high school and church together. Many fond memories of the times we spent together.

I met Joe back when he and one of my junior high school teachers started an Explorer post that involved shooting match rifles. I was 15 at the time and I'm proud to tell people about Joe and how I've known him for the past 35 years. It seems impossible that it has been that long. He was by far one of the most likeable people I have ever met. Once Joe moved to High Point I saw him a few times and we exchanged emails but I hadn't been in touch with him for a number of years when I learned of his passing. I thought of him often and felt that all I had to do is send an email and he would answer. I'm sure he would have because that's the type of person he was. I can't think of a time that I wasn't welcome in his home despite always arriving unannounced. If he happened to be cooking dinner then I knew I was in for a treat because he would always invite me to join him. I deeply regret that I didn't keep in touch. I made the mistake of thinking that there would be time to catch up with him. I've felt very emotional this past week but when I feel sad then I stop and think of some of the conversations we had, his laugh, his dry wit and I can't help but smile. He was hilarious, intelligent, and thoughtful. The world would be a much better place if we had more like him. God Bless Richard, Karen, and all of Joe's friends and relatives.

Joe and I were classmates in high school. Have fond memories of those days - homeroom, shared classes, and four years of band rehearsals, performances and frivolity! Marching for all those football games. Always a guy who livened up the group.
My prayers and sympathies to his family and friends.

Joe was a great friend. His Dad, Richard & Brooksie hold a special place in my heart. My Father & Joe’s were best of friends.

We are saddened by the loss of your dear love one. The pain that death of a loved one brings can sometimes overwhelm us. Our loving God Jehovah knows how we feel and he provides comfort from his word the Bible. Psalm 34:18 says: Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; He saves those who are crushed in spirit. Comfort also can be found in the words at Revelation 21:4; And he (God) will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. May these scriptures bring comfort and calmness of heart to you at this time. Please accept our deepest sympathy.

Karen:
We will all miss Joe and his wit. Competing with him was always an exhilarating time and being able to vote him in as president of the Black Hawks every year was a tradition. I wish you the best and hope you will continue to come to the Black Hawk events,

I've never met a man I liked as much and as quickly as I did Joe. Within minutes it felt like I had known him for years. I'm sorry I didn't get to know him better and would have loved to have seen him in Helen. He was a wonderful person and it breaks my heart he has passed. My prayers for Karen will continue for a long time to come.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Although I do not know you personally, I witnessed your love and devotion at Hospice Home as your "across the hall neighbor" while caring for my mother. My heart goes out to you and your family. You are in my prayers.
