Joe will be missed by eveyone who has ever met him. He was not only pleasant but non-judgemental, outgoing and supportive of anything he could help you with. He even borrowed tools or his back.

He could cook and clean with the best of man. His peanut brittle was world famous and given away to everyone..

Mary will miss him after all these years. He was attentive and considerate in all things. We know he is in heaven, sitting at the kitchen table awaiting for each of us to stop in for coffee. Love ya… sharon

Dear Mary,

I’m remembering with fondness and a smile, the many memories I have of my visits to Seattle and what a wonderful host Joe was although he was always needling and teasing everyone and all the fun places we visited and excellent restaurants we ate at!!!!!!! I will always remember how kind he was to Lee and the kites

My prayers are with you and your family.

My sincerest condolences,

Rita
