Thinking of your family and remembering good times especially as Breanna was growing up. Papa Joe used to pull a little trailer full of kids around with his tractor. Also they loved swimming in that cattle trough he filled with water. Love to you all!

Joe was an incredible servant of God! I knew him for a long time through Grace Community Church. His legacy there is apparent because of the love he had for doing work that lasted. My prayers and love are with the family at this time. I know this was not a surprise but it is still tough to lose a loved one. The best way you can keep his memory alive is to live like him. Love God, Love others and dedicate your life to being the best you can be. He will be honored as he cheers you on your race with the great cloud of witnesses in heaven.
