I was a fortunate person to have been given the opportunity to spend time with Joe this past 7-months. I have learned a lot from this man, who throughout his life has always given to others. Joe was a person close to his wife, and his children. His dedication to his family that I saw was really heart warming to me. During some very difficult days health wise that Joe had, somehow he would make you smile with his easy going ways. Joe accepted his illness and put himself in the hands of God. Joe was called by God, and I know he did not hesitate to join him. I think God really needed someone like Joe, to assist him in his work above. I will miss you Joe, however, I will carry with me many thoughts that I was given from you throughout the rest of my life. God bless you, sir.

One of my favorite memories with my father was when I was a little girl, I would pretend to be sleeping on the coach so that he would carry me to bed. I loved being his baby girl!!!! I will miss him until we meet again in heaven. With all my love, Kitty Kat
