It pained my heart greatly when I learned of the passing of Dr. Joe Carrick. I found Dr. Joe through a google search for the “best dental implant dr.”
That’s exactly what I experienced with Dr. Joe Carrick the best Dr for my situation. I was afraid of the whole dental experience, but Dr. Carrick’s caring demeanor put me ease. I was never uncomfortable and Dr. Carrick restored my smile. He was the first dentist to realize that I had an actual cleft palate and he worked and worked until he came up with the very best treatment plan for me. I will be forever grateful for my precious memories of appointments with Dr. Carrick and all of the compassionate, knowledgeable staff that helped make me smile and feel happy at the dentist office again!!  
I love you Sandra and Cable 💜💜🙏🏾

I met Joe in Madison, WI. I was in need of a great deal of dental work but very frightened of dentists. Joe went out of his way to make me feel at ease at every appointment. He was the first dentist I ever trusted. He restored my smile. When he moved to Texas, and I needed more work, he didn't hesitate to say to come there as he would continue treatment. He was amazing, telling jokes during my procedures, so kind. I had never met anyone like Joe. 

I have just learned of his passing and am grief stricken. This world, his family, certainly lost an amazing man. I am blessed to have known him. 

I'm just now finding this.  I am so sad to learn that Dr. Carrick has passed away.  I was a former patient that needed a lot of dental work.  I was always so impressed that he took our financial situation into account.  At times, he seemed like a mentor.  A truly nice man.  - Tara L


I played tennis with Joe in high school. I didn’t know him well because he was a couple of years older than me but I can tell you that he was a hell of a tennis player as well as the high school quarterback. I always respected him as well as his brother Bo. They were good guys. It makes me sad to know that they’re both gone. My condolences to his family. 

I moved from Texas to Florida in 2014. But prior to that I lived in Tomball for 12 years. I first met Dr. Carrick at Guy Lewis’ practice and was given the option of having a different dentist treat me when Dr. Carrick left to start his own practice or follow Joe. I was so impressed by the way he treated me that I followed him, driving each time for my appointments from Tomball to Conroe.
I had extensive work done, including several implants and veneers and Dr. Carrick was amazing through every step. He was always kind, considerate, caring, genuine and compassionate. He and I shared a lot of laughs together and although he passed in 2017 I only learned of this in 2019. I had the pleasure of getting to know His lovely wife and daughter and even brought in some souvenirs from my worldly travels.
I will be forever grateful to Dr. Carrick for what he did to change my life and help me regain my confidence. He was truly one of a kind and someone who will never be forgotten by the multitude of people he came into contact during his lifetime. May god bless you Joe and your family.

Dr. Carrick was so very nice , I had taken my children to him , and he was willing to help me with dental problems that occurred from going to a different dentist in town..But in a very professional way...I know his wife Sandra, and himself from working at my previous job at Krogers by his office.I was always happy to see their smiling faces headed my way.   Wonderful people and dentist.....

I worked with Dr. Carrick for 10 years, it was the most educational and rewarding experience I've had working with anyone. He helped build my self-confidence as a person and as an employee. We had a lot of laughter in the office but always took pride in the end results, he was a perfectionist. He will always remain dear to me.

Cabel and Dr. Carrick's family, my deepest condolences. I just found out about Dr. Carrick's passing away and I'm in shock. 
I know that many people have already told you this but let me say it again: Dr. Carrick was the best doctor ever. I will always remember him trying to find the best solution for every problem,  o matter how complicated, and making sure that one felt comfortable in the process. 
I'll miss his sense of humor and his compassionate approach to his patients. 
I will be forever grateful to him. 
Aurora Losada.

Cabel, I am so sorry to hear of your father's passing.  He was very interesting and a joy to visit with. He did so much for me and solved many of my problems. I will really miss him and certainly wish you and your family the best of everything. When I received your letter of the practice closing I had no idea until today that you had lost him.

This very evening my mind was wandering and paused on Dr. Joe.  What a sad and shocking jolt to google his passing. I have missed him fondly since he left San Diego as my Dentist & my landlord.  No Dr I have ever had  has had the "Bedside Manner" he possessed.  My deepest condolences go out you.  The Angels have greeted him in Paradise.  fondly,  Arthur Ortiz

I am so sorry to hear about Joe. We were part of the early AACD family. Joe was a good man. 

John Kanca III, DMD

Dear Sandra,Cabel, and Chance,
     Your whole family enriched our family's lives and well-being in so many ways.  When we first met you, Sandra and Joe, you had found a house in the perfect community for a dentist, called Crest, the only town named after a toothpaste! And we were exceptionally lucky that you had moved right across the street from us. You were expecting the arrival of Cabel a few months later, and a few years later, Chance joined the family.  Our 3 children were in elementary school when we first met, and over the years, we enjoyed many good times together:  We spent lazy summer weekend afternoons around your pool with Joe, an attentive host as always, serving us snacks and drinks so we didn't have to move from our lounge chairs or the pool. We remember the lovely parties at your home, for friends and family, and in the fall and winter, holiday parties, and many dinners enjoyed with you, as well as special events.
     Joe always took care of our whole family's dental needs, and he made sure that we not only got the best of care, but that we enjoyed the experience with relaxing nitrous oxide, feeling no pain, and hearing many funny jokes.  
     Sandra, Joe and you always planned fun trips, outings, and dinners out for us.  I remember one time we were on the way to Temecula on a six lane highway.  Joe was engaged in telling Bill, in the front seat next to him, a joke, glancing at him frequently. Sandra and I were in the back seat, and in the far distance, we could see a figure leisurely crossing the road in front of us. We came closer and closer, but we weren't slowing down.  Suddenly, the man began to run wildly toward the center island, and Joe did notice him and slowed down in time.  Then all of us started laughing hilariously, and I thought later that it must have been comic relief! Honestly, Joe did stop in plenty of time!
     Our grown children have many fond memories:  Mike remembers betting Joe with pizza rewards for football game winners, meeting a guitar player at their home, and beginning to take a few lessons and learning to play the guitar very well and sing along, as he still does today.  Other friends of yours, such as Mike Douglass became Mike's friends, and he and Allison worked in his gym.  Lisa remembers babysitting for both Chance and Cabel and playing games with them many times.  We all remember the games we played after dinner:  Uno, Skip Bo, Spoons, and others.
     Yes, Joe and Sandra, your enduring friendship, your spiritual guidance, healthy eating and physical fitness habits, and super personalities, character, and generosity meant the world to us.  
 When Bill and I visited you here in Texas, you knew that we loved great food, and you took us to many outstanding restaurants in Conroe and surrounding areas, as well as driving us all around, even down to Galveston to buy fresh shrimp, which we froze and took home in our suitcase.
     We will always remember that Joe gave so much of himself, putting everyone's needs above his own, and being so giving, as Sandra, Cabel and Chance wrote in this legacy document.  Before we saw your message, Bill and I had already decided also that was our most strong memory of Joe, and taking the best care of his family, his friends, his clients (who also became his friends), and others was his mission in life.  He will be sorely missed, but remains in our hearts, a true inspiration to us and others, and a wonderful role model as a father and husband, and friend.  There is so much more we could write, but to sum up our feelings, we and our grown children feel privileged to have been a part of his and your lives.

I was shocked and sad when I received the letter to Dr Carrick patients. He cared for my husband Frank who psssed away last year and for me until I moved from The Woodlands to League City to be close to my daughter following my husbands death. Dr Carrick also cared for my brother Joe Puccio and treated him with exception attention when he learned my brother was in an advanced stage of Parkinson. I will always remember his sense of humor. He was a true gentleman. I hope the Carrick family will be comforted by all the kind words given by his patients and friends. God bless you and may he Rest In Peace. 

I just heard of Dr Carrick's passing today.  His contribution to this world went far beyond his accomplishments because he helped so many people in so many ways by responding to even the worst situations with grace, compassion and most thankfully relentless determination.  I'm sorry I missed the service and I'm so very sorry for your personal  loss Sandra, Cabel and Chance. It's nice that the kids took you all on vacation recently and that you took the time off to do it.  So many people will share your pain at the loss of such an incredibly kind, funny man.  I'm praying for you.

I just learned of Dr Carrick's passing today. Please accept my most sincere condolences. He was an exceptional dentist. And l actually enjoyed my dentist visits, because we always ending up talking guns. I know he will be missed by many.

Dear Sandra, Caleb and Chance, our entire family lifts all of you up in prayer and are heartbroken by the loss of your precious husband and father. Our hearts go out to all of you because we understand all to well what you are going through. Please know that you are deeply loved by so many and that was very apparent just at the celebration of life for Joe. You will never have to walk this path alone because we have an almighty God who is with you always. I know your hearts hurt for him here, but what a glorious celebration he is having in Heaven with all his jokes and sense of humor he had. Thank you Jesus that Joe knew the Lord and had a relationship with him. It was so apparent by the testimonials we heard at his service. I guess you could say that Joe was prepared to see those "pearly" gates all to well. I never had the opportunity to meet Joe but it was apparent he had a servants heart. Hold each other close and know that God has his loving arms wrapped tightly around all of you. May God bless you and comfort you as you begin this new journey in your lives. We are all blessed to be loved by such a mighty God. Thank you Jesus for all that you do and continue to do for all of us. Peace, Love and Hope always and forever.

You may not remember or know who I am.  I am a cousin of Joe's.  (probable the oldest).  As a teenager I baby set Joe as well as Ladine and Bo.  I have fond memories of growing up as their home was my second home.   May God's Peace and Comfort be felt by each of you.

Ever since the moment Mr. Carrick and I met 12 years ago, he has been one of the kindest, most gentle human beings I have ever encountered. Over the years spending countless hours together doing anything we could find entertaining, my view of him remained unchanged.
He treated me as one of his own growing up, and what I experienced showed me what a remarkable father figure he truly was. In early years of knowing him, it took a little prodding to bring out his goofy side - which was always my favorite, but in recent times it came so naturally. He showed tremendous respect for each individual he came in contact with, but what always stood out most to me was how thoughtful he was. 
I have seen this amazing family through a fair share of ups and downs and although I am not related, they have always made me feel so welcome and cared for over the years, and I believe that love began with Joe.

I cannot express how truly blessed I feel to have been a part of one of the most beautiful moments in his life, with he and the Carrick family this summer. I had never seen him overcome by such unabridged happiness and laughter. In many ways, he reminded me of how Chance acted when we first met, and it was a very precious moment to me.
It seemed like most people teared up when they saw Robert absolutely humbled at the sight of his fiancé, and basically sobbing at the altar :) - but what triggered a pure joy in my heart was watching Mr. Carrick walk the most beautiful bride I had ever seen, through the sand to her new family, as proud as any man could ever be. And as I have endless wonderful memories with him, that will forever be my most treasured. I am so thankful that he was able to share that with his family and friends, and blessed to have had those moments with his little girl. 
During that week, I found myself gravitating towards him as I was reminded of how much fun we always had growing up, just being silly! And at our last dinner in Mexico (where he and I had hilarious conversation for hours), I asked he and Mrs. Carrick about having our final breakfast together the next morning. After wondering if they were going to make it out of bed haha I called and woke Joe up - sounding completely disoriented, and probably with no idea of what I was saying. Just how he was sometimes :) but I was delighted to see them shortly after, where I spent the very last moments I would ever have with him. And what a blessing that was.

This news was and has been extremely difficult to accept, and I am still in shock that he has left us for the only better place he could be, but my family and I will always hold him in our hearts - truly thankful for the many years of his friendship and love.

We love you all so dearly, God bless you.

I walked around for a couple of years not being able to see my front teeth (top and bottom) due to swollen infected gums.  I sure did pick the right dentist to fix that problem.  He was excellent at his craft.  I owe my toothy smile to him these days. RIP Joe Carrick.

Dear Sandra...I am so saddened and shocked to hear that Joe passed away.   You and the family are my prayers for peace and comfort.  Love you Sandra, hope to see you soon.

Dr. Carrick changed my life. I met him in January 2005.  During the last 12 years he rebuilt my mouth and changed my facial features thus improving my self-esteem and quality of life.  I will be forever grateful to him. He restored my trust in dentists though he was much more of an artist.  He was like a father figure to me someone who had lost my own father years ago.  He loved his daughter Cabel and kindly said I reminded him of her.  Cabel assisted him in many of my surgeries and her final opinion on his work was of utmost importance to me.  Dr. Carrick was so interesting and charming because of his interest in others.  He loved life and helping others.  He believed in people and always had an encouraging word.  I am so lucky to have known such a wonderful man.  He was truly my hero.  Love to you Cabel your dad is always with you.
Love,
L'Abri

Dear Sandra, like your sister Pat, a Hospice nurse, she & Dr. Joe left us to soon. Their passing puts a focus on what made them caring professionals & individuals. May you & your family be surrounded by love and comforted by our Heavenly Father.

When I was in college, my back gum was all swollen up. I just stopped by his office in La Mesa not knowing they were at lunch at the time. He stopped eating and demanded to take care of it right then. It turned out to be just a popcorn kernel lodged in there. This is just one example of his kindness and compassion. Joe, you will be so missed!

Joe was an exemplary role model for us all and was a constant source of inspiration and advice during my years on the AACD board and during my presidency. He will be sorely missed. My heartfelt condolences to you all. 
Ron Goodlin. 
Past President AACD.

Dear Sandra (and family) - I know it has been so many years since we have had interpersonal connections, but miles and years don't keep us from feeling so sad for your loss.  I am praying for your comfort as only God can give at a time like this...All my love, concern, and prayers....

We are deeply saddened with the news of Dr. Carrick's passing.  He was more than a dentist to us, but a caring friend as well. He took care of us and we are shocked with the news.  Please accept our profound condolences for your loss. He will be greatly missed.  Rest in peace Dr. Carrick.

Sandra and Cabel: This is most difficult to write as Dr Carrick was one of the most loving husbands and fathers I know. So, I am at a loss as I consider the depth of your loss. He was the kindest, most considerate man who always put the comfort of others first. He had a great sense of humor although he couldn't tell a joke very well. He was brilliant in his field and innovative when it came to fixing that which nature or neglect had broken. I trusted him and I loved him like a brother. We had some great adventures in the decade that he was my doctor. We also had some great conversations about philosophy and religion. That is how I know that he was a follower of Christ and as such that we will all meet again. May God provide you the peace that surpasses understanding and may He strengthen you during the hardest days.

My Deepest Condolences on your Loss.  Dr Carrick was a one of a kind soul who made his profession a much better one.  His passing, all too soon, leaves a hole in our heart.

Dear Sandra, Cabel, and Chance,
All of you and Joe were the light of our lives and our best friends ever.  All the time you lived across the street from us and hosted swimming afternoons, dinners, parties to celebrate special occasions, and fun dress-up nights out, were our whole family's best memories.  And Joe, as many have said, always put others' needs before his own.  He tended to our dental care, made sure he took Bill with him Christmas shopping for me, always was the consummate host, and had jokes and fun stories to tell. He was the perfect role model for our children. After you moved to Texas, we enjoyed trips there, and Joe always wanted to take us to the fabulous Mexican and barbecue restraurants abounding. and he also continued his special personal dental care to us.  Our hearts break when we think of him not being in our lives anymore, but our memories are golden.  We know that Joe lived a beautiful life and is in Heaven. And we know you, his family are still protected and watched over by him, and we are praying for your strength and comfort now.  Love, Carol and Bill

Though I lost touch with Joe after he moved from San Diego,I will always have warm memories of dental school,study clubs, AACD,rides back to El Paso,and many other fun times in San Antonio.Rest in Peace Joe !!

Dear Sandra, Cabel, and Chance,

I am so sorry to hear about Joe's passing. He was a great friend and role model for me growing up. There are so many great memories from the years that we were neighbors, but perhaps the ones that stand out the most for me are the football bets that he always won, requiring me to buy him a pizza.

He will be sorely missed.

Joe touched so many lives in a positive way. I always had deep respect for his vast knowledge, his professionalism and his honesty.
Godspeed.

Joe was a wonderful friend and dentist!  When he and the family lived in Wisconsin, he empowered so many people laugh and smile again with his beautiful dentistry and kindness. He was always giving to others and willing to help anyone out.  We will miss him greatly! Our sincerest condolences to his family.

My Dearest Mrs Carrick, I didn't know of Mr Carrick passing until today when you came to the pharmacy and Tina told me I'm so deeply sorry for your loss, he was such a nice and polite man.  I too just lost my husband on 11/28/16 of 48 yrs. I was 20 and he was 17, you and your family are in my prayers, God has such a special angel in heaven.

I knew Joe in the Navy, we served together as Dental officers.   Boy, what an all around great Guy!! I am shocked by his passing. He will be greatly missed by the profession.  My sincerest condolences to his family.

Dear Sandra, I so sorry for your immeasurable grief at Joe's passing. The news immediately brought tears to my eyes and a deep sense of loss. I experienced a small measure of his boundless love when he was practicing a couple of blocks from me near Lake Murray Blvd in San Diego in the 1990's. His encouragement to me while I was going through some very stressful times led me to see something in myself that I did not know I had.  His love of the profession and enthusiasm for excellence spilled over on me and pushed me on to achieve Acceditation in the AACD.  I am forever grateful for the love that he demonstrated toward me. I was pleased that we briefly reconnected in April 2016 when I sent him a copy of my book, Ideolatry. He shared with me that the timing was perfect. I was pleased that I could repay his kindness to me in some small measure because his care over me completely transformed my professional life. Sandra, my prayers are that God provides you and the rest of your family with comfort and peace during your darkest hours.

My memories of Joe from Burges High School are the same as his obituary states...smart, caring, loving and heart of gold.  We are so saddened to hear this news and will pray for his precious family for peace and comfort during this time of sadness and learning to live their lives without Joe, loving husband, father, brother and friend.  With love and prayers, Ken and Barbara Halas Luckett

P.S. Wish we could be at the service for the celebration of Joe's life.  It will certainly be a celebration, for an amazing man. Heaven is open wide and the angels are singing...

Sandra I am shocked and saddened to learn of Joe's passing. He was such a genuinely warm and caring man as well as group care leader. We will miss him so very much!  I know very much how you are feeling as I lost my husband four and half years ago in similar circumstances. He passed away on our steps at home in my arms right after he walked in the door. If I can help in any way please let me know. Prayers and blessings to you and your family.

Kate Foley

Dear Sandra
  Although I never met Joe, I felt like I knew him through your ponderings of his and your life together, during your training classes. He was part of the excercise family you created at 24 hour. I cannot imagine your sadness. Please know, that there are so many of us who love you and care so much about you. I am sure Joe was just like you, constantly giving to make this world a better place. That is a treasure that is to be celebrated. 
  Please know that all of your faithful class participants, love you very much and grieve for your sorrow.

 Desde Colombia les enviamos un saludo muy especial para su esposa y familia,estamos muy impactados con la noticia de la muerte del doctor Joe Carrick, fue un doctor y un profesor ejemplar quien nos dejo grandes enseñanzas.Que el Señor tenga en su Gloria.
Beatriz Eugenia Henao y todo su equipo de trabajo de Redencol.

Sandra, Cabel and Chance,

We are truly sorry to hear of Joe's passing. He will be missed by all that knew him. 

Love,

I am so sad to hear of his passing.  You just had to love him.  He was my dentist for several years and he always very caring, and witty at the same time.  RIP Dr. Carrick.  I just can't believe it.

I was deeply saddened when I learned of Joe's passing. He was a wonderful person and respected by all, a true friend and classmate. He will be missed.

I am beyond shocked and deeply saddened by the loss of my friend and mentor. Joe taught me so much in what Accreditation level dentistry is all about as well as trusting me to be his dentist while he was in San Diego many years ago. He was always so approachable and just a wonderful person to be around. He took me under his wing when I first joined the Academy and made me a better dentist. His ability to teach and educate were his passion and he loved his family and profession. My thoughts are with his family and the world has lost a special person who gave so much to all.

I knew him to be a gentle and caring soul, who loved his brother.

Sandra,
Words can not express my feelings for you at this time. Dr. Joe was such a kind and generous man. He exhibited his grace each day as he interacted with his patients and the community he served. Our heart is sadden by his departure. Wes and I loved coming to your office and being welcomed as part of Dr. Joe's world. Wes and his brother had a lot in common and we always enjoyed hearing stories about UT foot ball. I only knew in the last couple of visits that he was an El Paso compatriot....as I am.
Dr Joe (in my opinion and heart) was the very best dentist! He corrected and healed so many injuries that had happen and been incurred by other dentists; with such grace.,,,, only to say  'The dentist who follows me will know I was a good dentist" He was an awesome man!
My heart has you and your children in my prayers. Love you
Wes and Linda Hubert

So very sorry to hear of Joe's passing.  Joe was the epitome of everything good in life as far back as I can remember as his friend and classmate in high school in El Paso.  Everyone who knew him knew that he was always destined for greatness as there is nothing that he did that he did not excel at and strived to be the best at.  He was admired by everyone who knew him and was an exemplary leader and role model.  Many of us lost touch with Joe after high school but thankfully, FB came to be and we had a chance to touch base with him again and share old memories and catch up on the present.  Thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time.  Joe will be missed by everyone whose life he touched in one way or another.   Michael Ewell (Fair Oaks CA)

I am truly sorry for your loss.  I pray you will be comforted in the days ahead.  Joe was a wonderful person, caring and kind. His smile just lit up the room.

Very sorry to hear this.  Joe was a solid guy and a great dentist.

Stunned and saddened by this news. Cannot even begin to express the impact this wonderful man had on my family, specifically my son, Eric.  Cabel and Sandra (and Chance... never met you but heard great things about you) as we struggle to understand this loss we can only imagine the depths of what you are feeling. Our deepest sympathy to you. He touched many and gave unconditionally. We will never forget Dr. Carrick.

Mrs. Sandra and Family I am so sorry for your loss. I really enjoyed working for and getting to know Dr. Carrick he was a great person that taught me so many things. He will be missed.

My deepest sympathy for the Carrick family. Dr. Carrick was an awesome person. I enjoyed his stories while in the chair and he always made me laugh. He will be missed and hard to replace. 

Dana & Shelby Fleming

Dear Cabel and Sandra, I am so glad to have had the pleasure of knowing and working with such a wonderful Man and Dr. He was a joy to work beside, he taught me so much not just about dentistry but also integrity, perseverance and that if it's worth doing its worth doing right! I will miss his witty humor and his kind hearted smile! He truly loved and cherished his wife and children! His legacy will live on for years to come...RIP Dr. Carrick!

Sandra, Cabel and Chance....My heart is breaking for you.  I just saw this on face book.  I've been a friend of Joe's since he started giving me tennis lessons when I was 14 years old.  I am so so sorry for your .... and our loss.

Sandra, Cabel and Chance, we are so shocked and saddened by this news. Our prayers go out to all of you. Joe was an amazing and kind man.

Cabel & Mrs. Carrick- I am just a recent patient, but I truly liked Dr. Joe, so much.  His kindness, his  professional expertise, & gentle manner enabled me to trust him...the first dental doctor ever.  My heart goes out to you both.  Blessings to you both, and may his Journey be peaceful.

Sandra,
 Annelle and I are absolutely shocked! Joe was a superb friend ,father, and clinician. Both of us feel honored to have counted Joe as our friend. We spent many days with you in San Diego...seems like yesterday. We can't believe that Joe is not with us anymore.

Joe was just so vibrant and extremely superb in everything he did.

 Annelle and I will pray for Joe,you and Chance and Cable.
Love' Mike and Annelle

Dear Sandra and family,
Joe, my wife Judy and I were classmates at Burges and graduated together in 1970.
We were so shocked and deeply saddened this morning to hear of Joe's passing.  Our deepest thoughts and prayers are with you all.
 Even though we haven't seen Joe in a number of years, the sweet memories of our friend are deep in our hearts. His easy smile and sincere and caring heart was a blessing to us all. 
Our lives are all the richer from having known Joe. Those special friendships that start when we're young and continue thru life can never be replicated or replaced and are the most cherished of gifts. 
Please know that all of us from Burges are praying for you, trusting the Lord to comfort you as only He can and thanking Him for an amazing man who was an excellent example and friend to all who knew him.
With our deepest love,

My deepest condolences, Sandra. Joe called me just about a year ago at the death of my husband and his good childhood friend, Walter Hammerick.  Blessings to you.

I send my heartfelt sympathy to your family for your terrible loss. Although it has been many years since I have seen him, but Joe was a dear friend during our high school years. He was loved by all who knew him--who could resist that smile and his good heart?  Joe made everyone around him a better person. My prayers are with your family.

Dear Sandra and Family
This is such sad news.  My heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you and your Family.  Joe and I went to Burges together...Class of 1970.

Sandra, I'm so sorry for your loss and that of your children.  
I grew up with and graduated from high school with Joe.  He was always a very polite gentleman all through school.  He stood tall, was handsome, had an endearing smile, and impeccable character. I had the privilege of Joe being my Senior Prom date, and I still have that photo from that night  Joe was also the beaux for our high school sorority.  Through the years, after school, we lost contact until a mini-reunion in Houston, a few years ago, where I enjoyed meeting you and seeing Joe again.
His passing is too soon in his young life.  May you find comfort from your faith in Christ and knowing Joe was appreciated and admired by so many throughout his life.  Sincerely, Debbie Albright Cannon

Dr. Joe was a unique man, one of a kind. I so wish there was a magic combination of words that would somehow ease the pain of this loss. Just know that I will continue to pray for you and your children and those who worked with him. My heart breaks for you.

Joe was on the Board of Directors of the AACD when I was president.  He will be greatly missed by his family, the AACD and by his patients in Conroe.  Our thoughts and prayers are with all of his loved ones during this time of grieving.

Dear Sandra, I wanted to express my deepest sympathy to you and your children at Joe's passing. You are all in my prayers and please know that all of your exercise buddies are here to support you. Love, Eileen Escoto

Dear Sandra, I am so very sorry for your loss.  I cannot put into words how to express my sentiments but please know you have my most heartfelt sympathies.

Joe and I both played football at Burges High School in El Paso and he was as tough as he was smart.  I saw him at the last reunion and he looked like he could still play quarterback, so I am shocked to hear of his passing.   My thoughts are with you.

Dear Sandra, Cabel and Chance, i am so sorry for your loss. I know this is a very difficult time and please know that you are not alone, God has promised he will never leave you. Dr. Carrick left a wonderful legacy. He was a wonderful man and great doctor. He did such great things for so many. He will be deeply missed. My deepest and most heartfelt condolences to the family.

Dear Sandra,  I am so sorry for your loss please know that my deepest sympathies and prayers are with you and your children.  God and my loves are with you.

Joe was a wonderful colleague, a dedicated professional, and an exemplary teacher. Most of all, he was a cherished friend for the past three decades. Our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to the family. 
George Freedman and Fay Goldstep (Toronto)

Dearest Sandra, Chance and Cabel...my heart weeps learning the loss of your husband, dad and friend of ours. Words cannot describe the sadness I feel. Joe was a good man, and leaves a wonderful legacy...he was so proud of his children...always encouraging of others, kind, compassionate and so much fun to be with!...I will cherish the wonderful memories our families have shared over so many years-what a gift. 
God Bless you and hold you in the palm of his hands...he has taken great care of Joe...and I trust his plan to surround you with his loving care.  My prayers are with you...with love and gratitude for our time together.. Carol

We are still in shock that our cousin Joe has left this earth.  Could almost hear the rejoicing when he was reunited with Bo and parents plus others.
Please know we share in your sympathy.  We are sending you our love, prayers, strength and comfort.  We loved him, too.
