Deepest sympathy. Praying for you .Cherish our friendship with Joe over 40 years.

Selina my friend you have my deepest condolences. Truly I know how much Joe meant & I pray that God will give you strength during this time. Prayers to his sons & entire family & may the angels be dispatched to bring comfort where needed.

Wow Joe. Not sure how I feel about you dying. I’ve known you since we went to school together at Round Hill in the 3rd grade! That was a long time ago! We shared the same birthday month, making you only 5 days older than me. You weren’t supposed to die, you were too young, but God had other plans for you. Now you’re flying high with the angels, free from pain and discomfort. You’ll be missed old friend. RIP Joe????

II have known Joe for over 50 years. I know he loved the Lord and would come to church and play his saxophone and he did an awesome job.. He had done electrical work for us and was very reliable. He will be greatly missed by all.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
