Dear Chibe family,
As a way of introducing myself to you Joyce, my husband, Bill, knew your boys through the bowling connection - and what a connection that was. They often spoke of their family and Bill in turn would relate those stories to me. A delightful family. Please accept my sympathy in regard to your husband and father...may you find grace and comfort through our heavenly Father...
Fondly, Joan Gray

Joe was a wonderful man and a profound positive influence for many young men at Scottsdale park. He was a wonderful coach and friend to us. He was the exemplar of someone strong and good. My deepest sympathy.

Dear Chibe Family,
I was so sorry to hear about the loss of Mr. Chibe. Although it's been many years since we've seen each other, I'll never forget living on Walcott Street will all of you. I especially remember the corner hotdot stand that Mr. Chibe had.

May you find comfort in knowing that others care. I'll keep all of you in my prayers and thougths at this saddened time.

Dear Joyce & Family
I just read about your loss and was very saddened. I remember all of you coming in to my dad's office when I worked there (Bob Spitkovsky-State Farm). I particularly remember you coming in with Scott. He was also my Aunt's brother. I remember you all through the years, and also that you came when my father passed away. It is too late for me to attend the wake, as I was not aware .... but please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

So sorry about the loss of Mr. Chibe. I will always remember him working at the annual Fun Fair at Nightingale School. Of course I fondly remember Charles and Scott. Who can ever forget little Scott in kindergarten and how Charles looked out for him. What a good brother!
