My 2nd Cousin. Joe. I miss you buddy. Mostly everyone's gone but the memories will last forever. I was young when you came home from Vietnam. You were like a cactus on the outside with cream filling. You spoke your mind and taught me to do so, as well. I enjoyed seeing you at the supply house, as we were both plumbers. I enjoyed seeing you at Knoxville with Judy although nobody could replace the memories of your wife and kids. I never got to know Johnny and Jay and I missed that. I never told you out of deep respect for the life you later lived. You taught me alot about when to speak and when to be quiet; even though you were the loudest of anyone. Nobody can replace my cousin as a family member and nobody holds a candle to Joe, as a friend. ♥

My deepest sympathy to Joe's family and friends. I didn't know Joe well but I believe he had a heart of gold under the sometimes gruff exterior he displayed. Praying for God's peace and comfort for those grieving.

Will miss you here, your voice that carried throughout the neighborhood, I would drive by and see your living room light on and think I would stop by and just chat, didn't see your light on the last few days, then I found out you had passed. You are missed.
