My deepest and most heartfelt sympathies to the family. Joe was family to me as well. I loved him dearly and wish I could have seen him last time I was out there. He was always so sweet and his personality was larger than life. He will be so very missed. My prayers to y’all.

I will cherish all the many memories, laughs and adventures we had. You were my people. You were full of knowledge and sometimes bull and  always there if I needed you. When I was feeling down you could always make me laugh. I love you Paw Paw and  we are all so blessed to have had you in our lives. 

Never a dull moment. Always fun times with Paw Paw. So many wonderful memories shared.

We love you dearly Paw Paw and you will always have a special place in my heart. 

There is no denying they were brothers, regardless how different they were. Now they can rest in peace together. 

My home-grown Joe!!! I am heartbroken to the hear of your passing. Strangely enough, the last 2 days have felt “off.”  As sad as I feel I should be, there is not 1 single memory I can recall (and I have TONS) where we were not cutting up and having the time of our lives and laughing at stuff I would not DARE mention here! You will always hold a special in in my heart, and I know I was always in yours too. Before I moved to Spain you and I were un separable. The memories we shared will live in my heart for ever, just as I am sure everyone lucky enough to know you feels the same. Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten all of the shenanigans you promised to come and find me to do to me when it was your time. I’ll be watching out for you.. I love you!!! 

One of our many Mexican dates, he loved to meet me & Dallas. 

I knew dreamed last Friday would be the last time I saw him. He was so proud of me & all I have accomplished in life. He always believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself. Until we meet again my friend, love you forever. 

Mr. Joe back in the day, funny thing is the little boy is one of my good friends. 

I met Joe while I worked at Jo’s diner, i always knew he would be there usually before the doors opened & usually come back that afternoon too. To know him, was to love him.  I sat with him almost every day & ranted to him, he knows a lot more about my life than most. He was always there to listen & to give me the best advice possible! 

Picture of Joe and Major’s table from the amazing people at Joe’s Diner. You all are a wonderful group. He loved you all so much!

Joe Joe, I know Major is missing his Friday breakfast with you and the ladies. I’m already missing my texts and memes from you. Wherever you are, I’m sure you’re laughing about something. Love you!

Already miss you old man!! Can’t help but smile at all the great memories..
