    Dear Judy and family, so deeply saddened we are about Joseph’s passing. I truly believe he is with my sister Rose Ann at some heavenly lake meeting up with his Dad, his Uncle Chickie, Uncle Tom and Slicko and some of his old fishing pals. I shall never forget his beautiful blue eyes, blond hair and his magnificent smile. He loved you and your entire family dearly…and I know you made his life so complete and full and meaningful. He truly adored you. Our lives have been permenantly changed and going forward seems impossible with the unbearable saddness. All we can do is pray until we meet again. May Joey rest in eternal peace in the arms of God. God Bless You All ! Love Helen Dolph and Joe .

    Mrs. Stanchis, Chrissy, Allen & Tracey;
    I’m so very sorry to hear of Joe’s passing! He was so kind & always smiling! If he was outside & I parked near your house, he’d always stop & chit-chat while I waited to pick my son up from Sumner School!
    So very sorry for your loss! Sending love & prayers to you all!
