My heart aches for you, I know how it is to have your Dad pass on. It was just four years ago last week for me. Our Dads are very much the same and I know they are watching out for us from beyond. Enjoying their strong daughters and our accomplishments. Thinking of you and praying for you, my friend. See you in SD.

To Val, Florence and Larry; My sincere condolence in the loss of your husband and father. It is a terrible loss to let go of brother Joe, as he was a good soul. A very kind,gentle person who did not have a mean bone in his body. He always found good things to say about people and he made genuine friends where ever he would go. People truly liked Joe,because he was a honest,hardworking gentle man. The world was a better place to have him in it. Joe had a sparkling personality full of humor,jovial,sincere and he truly was one of God’s angels on earth.

To Valarie and Joe’s family,
I’ll always remember Joe when he worked at Haskell Health and the bright and good natured man that he was. He had a great sense of humor and we had many conversations about sports, kids and all of the things we thought would make the world a better place. Now he is in that better place. I am very glad to have had the opportunity to work with him for so many years and enjoy his presence. God bless you Joe.

My dad taught me many things. He taught me how to work on vehicles. He taught me math. He taught me how to love beyond reason and to always figure a way through things. He taught me how to cook. He taught me many things.
The most important thing he taught me was this:
No matter what goes on in life. You must get back up and keep going.
I wish you could have been able to see me walk across the stage with my 3rd degree pops. Wish you weren’t gone.
