    I will miss Joe. We were card playing buddies. We met over 40 years ago in Bible school at Rock Church. We've had many laughs and good times together. I'll see you again one day, Bro. Say 'hello' to Jesus and my Mom for me. I'll be praying for your family.

    I knew Joe as he lived in our Apartment complex. Such a nice man who loved children and has come to my aid in prayer for a friend. I asked him to pray with me and I will never forget that. I met his brother from Florida last year and was intrigued by the family man he was. Had many a nice chat with him. I will miss him and know that our Lord has a place for him to remain in service. God Bless you Joe and may you now be resting in peace.

    Joe and I attended elementary school together. We discovered this shortly after I became a neighbor of his at Luther Manor. I thought the world of him and I am saddened by his loss.The family has my heart-felt sympathy.

    I am so sorry for the loss of Joseph , I have a CD that he made called Stained Glass Windows I was just listening to it in my car and it bought back memories of the happy times at Luther Manor when I would have a meal with him in the dinning room. Joseph was a true lover of the Lord and I am sure he has been welcomed into heaven.His songs are so beautiful and I will always treasure having his CD. It makes me sad that I will not be able to see him anymore when I visit Luther Manor. I see the empty table that was his and it makes me want to cry .I miss him so much the more I listen to his music the more I miss him.
