I have sooooooo many favorites 💔
Joe was a jolly soul, had an amazing smile and loved my precious friend Kathy. Paul and I are grateful to have known him! He will be sorely missed by many!
Joe, you're already missed by so many. You were always genuinely happy to see us and sad to see us go. Will miss seeing you sitting in the garage, waiting to give all the neighborhood puppies a treat and having your morning doughnuts! We were blessed to be able to spend time with you in your lovely new Florida home. Love you Joe 🩷
Many of my favorite memories of Uncle Joe are when him and Aunt Kath would host us at their place in the Ozarks. Once my mom and I decided to try to swim clear across the Lake of the Ozarks. Uncle Joe came to our rescue on a wave runner with that warm smile and a “hop on darlin, what on earth were you thinkin haha”.
Honestly, I don’t have a bad memory of him. He was the very best. I’m sure my dad is overjoyed to have him back.
Best neighbor. Our street all of a sudden became more friendly when Joe and Kathy moved in. I’ll miss seeing him in the garage whenever I drove by. Glad I got to share a doughnut with him. ❤️
Joe always had a big smile whenever we would see him. Peggy and I are very fortunate that we were able to spend time with Joe and Kathy over the winter.
Joe loved his Mustang and Lola was his favorite in law puppy.
Joe you will be dearly missed. ❤️
I have so many wonderful memories of Joe throughout the years … the countless times he spent fishing and swimming in the lake with my kids and taking them out on the jet ski. His truly genuine hugs, and watching ‘Joseph’ make Mickey’s nightly drink. He would always greet me with his smile and a “How are you doing darlin’ ?” He was one of a kind and I will truly miss him.
