Hey, Ron..sorry about your dad..thinking fondly of you..just went through pics of our early yrs together before Fordyce..& after..are we getting old..(ha ha)..God bless!!!
The sorrow of the faithful is not that of permanent loss, but the tender sense of sadness that comes in saying good-bye for now to someone we love. May today’s sorrow give way to the peace and comfort of God’s love. Pat, Cheryl our deepest sympathy …

Margaret and family you are in my thoughts and prayers. Joe will be greatly missed. He was a terriffic guy just like grandpa! What a sense of humor! May all the great memories help you through this difficult time. Love and prayers to all of you!
Time moves so quickly, I was very blessed to attend the birthday party for Joe last year. What wonderful stories we all heard. What a legecy he leaves behind. A much loved man will be greatly missed. Love Sandy
I send my sincere condolences to the family. While I didn’t know Joe well, I know his son Pat and his family well, and I have learned over the last 22 years a bit about him. I have the absolute highest respect for Joe as a father, a hard worker, and a family man of integrity. He surely did a good job of raising his son Pat to be a good man, and I know Joe will be missed by many, both inside and outside of his family.
