My deepest sympathy in your time of grief. Joellen I doubt you remember who I am. We had met through a nurse, I think her name was Lynn, you worked with her at Ressurection hospital. I truly wish good things for you and your Mom at this most trying of times. Keep your heart and Head open, when you need him he,ll be there to help you see what you should do. I know I have buried both of my parents, and I know they have helped me when I needed help.
Please be strong in this time of sorrow. MARK SALOMAN

My prayers and condolences to the family. I have many fond memories of times spent with Joe. I remember Joe helping me adjust some relays on the housephone system at Wells High School, after we went across the street for a few beers to celebrate. He loved life and always knew how to have a good time. He will be missed by everyone who knew him. Cousin Ed

My Dear Family,
Words cannot convey my heavy heart with losing another vital member of our team, the only consolation for me is that he is in very, very good company. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Love you.
