11 months has passed.   Been to your grave site many times, so miss your phone calls, send secret lunches.    Xxxxxx Ooooo. Jill

Was so sad to hear of your passing.  About 16 of us rode to Jill's last weekend for a BBQ, and I asked about you.    I know that Jill misses you and gave you the love of riding, even though you did not ride a real bike.  (HARLEY, you know how I loved to rib you about that).    Ride safe in heaven my friend, may the roads also be clear, and never a rainy day.  The guys are all planning a ride to the Flood wall in August and was going to see if you wanted to ride along.   To your children I say, "He was a good guy, and will be missed."         : (     James                   "Life is truly a journey and we will meet again some day.

The beam shines down, the rays so bright, the stars come forward, at the dead of night.  I feel you close, you're always here,  the glow of the sun, you're my star, my dear.  An angel gained, a distance apart,  our friendship lives on, a place in my heart.  I feel you close, you're always here,  the glow of the sun, you're my star, my dear.  A loss like this, won't heal too soon,  You light the sky, the sun, the stars, the moon.   I feel you close, you're always here,  the glow of the sun, you're my star, my dear. ** “The three great essentials to achieve anything worthwhile are, first, hard work; second, stick-to-itiveness; third, common sense.”

Jennifer and Jason, your dad was always talking about you two and also Aaron.  My fondest memory of him would be the when we had a summer storm and power went out r for three days.  No worries though Jill & Joe fired up her generator so we had hot coffee and cold beer.  Also grilled out and just sat on the back patio talking.   Your dad loved his coffee, Buckeyes, beer, and cigarettes.  Ran into Jill last weekend and she told me of your loss.   May GOD help your hearts heal.

Joe, will miss you stopping by, was always good to see Jill and you riding in the driveway.  Even though you got a later start riding than most of us, you did enjoy the ride.  Your family, friends and acquaintance will surly miss you.  May GOD be riding with you on your trip to heaven.   I am pretty sure you took a piece of Jill's heart with you, ride safe my friend, ride safe in heaven.

Miss Me, But Let Me Go.

When I come to the end of the road, and the sun has set for me,
 I want no rites in gloom-filled rooms, why cry for a soul set free?
 Miss me a little--but not too long,  and not with your head bowed low;
 Remember the love that we once shared -  Miss me--but let me go.
 For this is a journey that we all must take, and each must go alone.
 It's all a part of the Master's plan,  A step on the road to home.
 When you are lonely and sick at heart,  Go to the friends we know,
 And busy your sorrows in doing good deeds. 
 Miss me - but let me go.     by:Betty Miller

Sincere sympathy goes out to Jason, Jennifer and Joe’s brothers.  I was blessed to have spent five years with Joe, and so happy that we remained  friends  after our engagement ended.   The trips to Niagara Falls, Mammoth Caves and visiting Jennifer in Tennessee are in my photographs and memory forever.  I was so happy to share my love of motorcycles and was thrilled when he decided to get his own.  We enjoyed many hour of riding together, with one of our favorites destinations being the FLOOD WALL at Portsmouth.  Over the last 6 years we have met for lunch at Ho-Toy to discuss kids, life, and current love interests.   I will miss those chats and him.   May we all find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared his LOVE.       Jill

My heart goes out to Joe's family and his fiancé. You are certainly in my prayers. I have so enjoyed working with Joe. Joe was a rock solid individual and he stayed true to himself. His kindness and thoughtfulness were a blessing to all worked with him. We talked about thrift shopping, memories of the "good old days", books, cars, fishing and of course, Ohio State. I will miss our friend and all the calmness and happiness he brought to us.

To the family, I am so sorry for your loss. Take comfort in knowing that Joe was a GREAT person and an absolute joy to have worked with for so many years in Unclaimed Funds. Joe's passing was so sudden to us. I had the pleasure of getting to know him over the years because we sat by each other. We made each other laugh and if I wanted to hear the truth about myself Joe SURELY did not bite his tongue in telling me. That's what I will miss about him the most. Just the fact that I could talk to him and KNOW that he would be honest whether I was wrong or right. I will miss all his stories and the free Pepsi's he would give me just because he knew that was the only thing that could calm me down:)... Just an absolute free spirit. Rest in Heaven Joe. Your face and presence  WILL TRULY BE MISSED....Tashmina Butts

You are the love of my lifetime. I miss you so much. Our wedding plans are gone I know but I will be with you again baby. Jason and Jennifer, Kylee and Aaron and your brothers have been wonderful. You are so loved. This is so difficult Joe. You took all the love I had left in my heart with you and I do know how much you love me, you showed me on a daily basis. You are my first and last Sweetheart. You showed me love that I have never seen before. I will be with you again baby. You know how deeply that I love you. Always remember that you are my everything.....

Dad you are great man. I hope I make you proud of me. We all love and miss you so much. Can't wait to see you again someday. You have taught Aaron and I so much on how to love and respect those around us. I can't wait to celebrate your life this week with family and friends :)

As part of Joe's "work family", I am grateful for the time he was a part of our earthly life. We were really just getting to know him better here in Real Estate, but he had already made such a big, positive impression and difference.  His work ethic and kindness shone through any shyness he had...  I personally send my heartfelt condolences to all of you - his forever family - for the empty spot he surely is leaving. I pray your memories comfort you always and bring smiles to ease your pain.

Joe was such a new member of the Division of Real Estate family, that we are all still in shock over his passing.  Many of us knew him when he worked in Unclaimed Funds, as the two divisions share the same floor.  He was a quiet but friendly person and he will be missed.  I would like to send my prayers and condolences to his entire family and friends.  May the good Lord ease your pain and fill your heart with memories of the good times you shared with Joe.  God bless, Michael Banister.

Jason steve and I are very sorry about joe's passing. he and I had many good times at the campground. he was one of a kind for sure. our thoughts are with you and aaron and I know aaron loved him very much. aaron just told me at Christmas he was happy his grandpa was with anice woman and was happy.

Please accept our sincere sympathy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time. He was always special to Aunt Betty as well as all of the boys. I remember Joe coming to visit and staying with Uncle George and Aunt Delores and Uncle George would always take him golfing with him, Tommy and Don. Even though we didn't see our cousins like we wish we had, You, Tony, Stacy and Tracy will always be special to all of your cousins in WV.  We love you all.  May your hearts be healed soon.
