Please accept our belated expression of sympathy of Joe's death. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.



We are in Arizona, near Ken and Kathy, and will be starting for home soon.

Dear Gloria , Cindy,Kathy & Joey....

We just heard about Joe through Ken McInerney and are so very sorry and wanted to let you know that you are in our prayers & thoughts.

We have a card with a letter ready to send to you but cannot find your address in the Jaycee book that we had taken with us from Elk Grove. Would you please e-mail us and let us know what it is?

The years have gone by so quickly and when we look back at all of the fun years there were while our families were growing up it sometimes seems like yesterday. All of the Fun Fairs and other school activities still remain so fresh in our minds.

Take care and all of the wonderful years that you had spent together will in some way comfort you during this time.

Gloria, my heart and prayers go out to you and your family. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Dear Mrs. Casper,

I was so saddened to hear about Mr. Casper from my mom. Lee and I send our deepest sympathies to you and your family. Although it's been a while since my Little People days, I remember that Mr. Casper was always smiling and happy. I know that you and your family will miss him dearly.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. ~Leann & Lee Munoz (Golemo)

Dear Mrs. Casper,

Please accept the sincere condolences from our family on the loss of your beloved husband. We have very fond memories of Little People School when our Mark and Karen were there. The love and sense of family were such a part of the environment you created and I know they came from your family. Our thoughts are with you in this difficult time.

Mrs. Casper,

We were sorry to read about the death of Joe Casper, Jr.. His brother Tom & wife Maryann are cousins of ours. Please accept our heartfelt sympathy and prayers to you and your entire family at this time.

Dear Uncle Joe,

Things wont be the same with out you at all our family gatherings. You were always there for me, Uncle Joe. If I ever needed anything you would do whatever you could to help. You were there for me in my most trying times. When my dad died, and all the arrangements were up to me, you didnt just say "call me if you need help" you said "I am here, tell me what you want me to do." You didnt know the strength that you gave me! When Gerry & I were looking into adoption the phone rang and there you were with your offer of help and advice. You were always interested in what was happening in my life. You loved your whole family so much, especially all the grandchildren and grandnieces & nephews. I was so happy that you were able to come to my home for Camerons Communion party. I know that my dad has a card playing buddy in heaven now. Dont stop looking out for all of us and thank you for all you did for me.

Love Rosette (Gerry & Cam)

Hey, Dad- we just got home after finishing the photo boards commemorating your life: We made FIVE of them, and that was after culling out so many photos! Wow, what a time capsule! And what a gift, to look at all those photos and relive the memories and laughs. What strikes me so much right now is how many photos we have with family around you, especially your grandkids, and how loving your face is in each picture with them. See what you can do to help Kelly get rid of her layrngitis, since she is supposed to sing four of the five songs we chose for your memorial service on Tuesday -



With much love, Cin

Hi, Joe,

What happened??!! We knew you'd bounce back from this, just like you've done many times before. Our prayers were constant that the Lord would relieve you of your pain and suffering. Well, I guess He knew best.

We've known you as long as you were dating Glor and then got married 3 months after you, that's 44 years now. What'd that do to Lee and Bianc!!! Now,with two "Pollacks" in the family, (not the most politically correct phrase, now days)what were these Italians going to do!!

We'll miss you, Joe, even though you sometimes tried to give us a hard time. We understood your personality and knew you were always trying to do what you thought was best.

You can be so proud of the way your kids and grandkids "turned out" and we know that was your joy, watching them succeed!

We know you're in good company up there, just try to keep a low profile!

Until we see you again, sometime,

Love, Terry and Mary

Dear Glor,

Al and I send our deepest sympathy to you, your children and grandchildren. Joe was always a hard worker and took such pride in his family and his work. I remember how much he loved the deli and I remember how much Al and I enjoyed his homemade soups. How fortunate you are to have been married to such a much loved man.I would like to end with my favortie prayer for Joe.

"I am the resurrection and the life: whoever believes in me, though he should die, will come to life; and whoever is alive and believes in me will never die"

Sincerely, Al and Virg

We are so sorry to hear of Joe Jr.'s passing, though we never met him we

did however meet Joe the III, who at one time contacted us about property

in Lake Geneva, Wi., He should be very proud of how his son has turned

out, he is a very nice young man.....we have tried to contact him but have

not been able to do so. Joe Jr's family will truly miss but I am sure he

is enjoying the heavens, and greeting the family who have passed, what a

joyus reunion that must be. Sleep well and God Bless You....

Dear Uncle Joe,

Ever since I could remember when I was younger,when my dad was sick you've always encouraged me. You've always told me to be good and help my mom out and not to argue or fight with my brothers. You've always told me to do my best. Uncle Joe, you will be missed especially at the family get togethers. Who's going to say,"hey Lin, did you try the polish sausage"? Who's going to tell the polish jokes like you? Uncle Joe, when I think of my mom and dad and uncle Mike and uncle Serge I will be thinking of you too. Give my mom a hug and kiss for me and tell her I miss her so much. Thanks Uncle Joe for encouraging me and always saying if ever you need anything Aunt Glor,and I are here for you anytime remember that! Now Uncle Joe rest in peace forever.

Love, Linda

Dear Dad - I am so thankful that there were no words left unsaid - you always made us talk things through - what a gift you were to us all! I will forever be grateful for the love and support you gave Todd and I - and for the enduring impact you had (and will continue to have) on Mike, Grace and Eddie. We are all better for it. Thanks again for being my Dad.



Love, Kath

Hi, Dad -



I am almost ready for bed, just finishing up the program for your memorial service, hearing you tell me not to pull another 'all nighter'(!) I am actually looking very much forward to the memorial service, on St. Joseph's Day (you plan everything, don't you?!), especially since we were given the gift of being able to perform the music you wanted, get approval on your obituary, choose the pastor and church, BEFORE you left us. What a blessing and relief. We know this will be just exactly what you would have wanted, and that is quite a comfort.



Dad, I miss you and will continue to miss you, so much. I always knew when I called that you were interested in every little detail of my day, giving advice (often unsolicited, but after thinking it over, always appreciated) and consistent support. I hope I can be like that with Kelly and Dan. Thank you for your love and good example.



Good night, with much love, Cin

Dear Mrs. Casper,



Our heartfelt sympathy and prayers are with you and your family.

Mrs. Casper- I just read of your husbands passing and I wanted to let you know that I remember him from the days of boys baseball in EG. He was a kind and cheerful man with a very hearty laugh. I hope you find peace and comfort in these next few days and that the strength of your family will sustain you as time goes on. God Bless you.

Hi Honey,

I know you are reading this and approving your obituary. I think it's just the way you wanted it.

I miss you so much. I'm remembering all the good times we had together. These last few years have been so difficult for you. You suffered so much and now you are free. I bet you're in Heaven right now taking charge of everything.Tell Lee we miss her so much too. Now you can continue your nickel bets with her on the Cubs games. We are having a celebration of your life these next few days. You can be so proud of our children and grandchildren. You have been such a big part of imparting a value system to them that will hold them in good stead the rest of their lives.

You have made a very positive impact on everyone you met, especially me. Before you died you were brave enough to have had a small preview of your memorial service. We thank God for the opportunity of helping to face death honestly and openly with you.

I will always remember the wonderful times and all the accomplishments we did together.

Till we meet again.

Your loving wife Gloria
