Dear Paw Paw, I love you and I miss you very much. I know you are feeling much better in heaven now that you are not suffering. Say hi to all the other angels in heaven for me. I wish that you and I were throwing the baseball just like we did before your diagnosed with cancer. You are a tough man to live that long while suffering with cancer. I want you to know that my love for you is bigger is bigger than the entire universe. Love, Bryce
Mr. Joe i am going to miss you very much. You taught me so much about how important it is to have a strong family life. From the first time i met you til your untimely death i knew you were a special person. I saw how committed you were to your wife, children, and their lives. I am very honored to have married your daughter. My children loved you and thought the world of their Paw-Paw. Thank you so much for being involved in their lives and taking time to participate at their school and going to their ball games. I will remember the wonderful times we spent together and will cherish them for the rest of my life.
Love, Jeff
Uncle Joe was such a special Uncle.. He was always full of laughter, hugs, & kisses and LOVED to dance with us! Honestly, he just loved to dance! I remember pool parties at Little Woods when I was a kid & he joined right in, "cannon ball"! He was a genuine soul and 'family' truly was his life.
The five of us are so thankful to have spent some quality time with Uncle Joe this past year while we were stationed in LA before heading to VA. I am so THANKFUL that my husband and children got to know him and see just why he's always been so special to me. We loved him with all our hearts!
I am so sorry that he has left us so soon, we weren't ready. But I know and believe that we will see him again some day.
I pray that God's grace is a comfort to Aunt Gladys, Joey, and the rest of us.
Love & Blessings, Angele, Jeff, Zach, Emily, and Nathan
Uncle Joe, what am I going to do without you? I will always love you and miss you. someday, we will all be together again, what a wonderful time that will be for all of us.
Uncle Joe, what are we going to do without you? You will always be in our hearts. We will love you and miss you forever.
My very Dearest Uncle and Godfather, Words cannot express how so very much I love you and will miss your kind, loving and always smiling face. I will always treasure the wonderful,fun times we all had together at family gatherings. You were truly the "life of the party" -- always joking around, dancing and entertaining us "kids." I always loved it when I was very young and so shy, how you would grab me and get me up dancing with you. That was always the highlight for me of our family parties and my greatest memories of you. And ,oh, what a great time we all had on our vacation to Florida! And Jack and I will never forget and be forever grateful for all the help you and Aunt Gladys gave us when he had his terrible accident years ago. You both were always there for us.
It is so hard to "let you go" but I know you are in a much better place now and your suffering has ended. May God keep you in his loving arms and send His blessings, peace and strength upon your beautiful wife and loving children, grandchildren & great-grandchild. We love you and miss you so! Your loving Godchild, Cindy and Jack
My precious, Uncle Joe. This page isn't big enough for me to write all my thoughts and special times that we all have shared with you. I know you are now looking down upon us all and in a better place, but we can't help but be a bit selfish, for we wish you were still here with us.
I am so very grateful that I was able to visit you in December and spend some special time with you. I hope you know that you were more than an uncle to me..you were my second dad. You came to my rescue when I needed rescuing no matter when.
More joyous times were summer vacations when Pammy and I would spend nights with Dee over by you and Aunt Gladys and of course our trip to Ft. Walton Beach. But my fondest memory will always be just watching you and Aunt Gladys dancing; just gliding across the dance floor so gracefully; you two were my Fred and Ginger and will always forever be.
So, on those fluffy white clouds, as the song goes, "I Hope You Dance"! Just save a dance for all of us when we get there. I love you so very much!. Your TOOTS Always!
Well dad another day has gone by without you I miss you so much. I was not ready to let you go. You are so special to me, Jeff and my boys. You showed them so much love. You were a great dad, great father in law and definitely a great grandfather. We love you so much and I know we all have a special angel watching over us.I love you daddy always and forever. Daddy's little girl-Dee
