All my love forever and ever to the best father anyone ever had. I will miss you terribly for the rest of my life, but I will always take pleasure in memories of you.
Myron / Milton,
Our condolences on the passing of your father. He must have been a great guy, judging from his two sons.
Our prayers are with you.
I met Joe when I was dating his son Myron. Even after Myron and I broke up, Joe continued to send me lovely Christmas cards, birthday cards and gifts of pecan candy. He was a gracious and charming gentleman whose smile lit up the room. I will always remember his kindness and generosity.
There is some comfort in knowing that dear Joe’s suffering is over but he will be missed. He was a wonderful neighbor and always a gentleman. Our sympathy to the Jenkins family…

This is a tremendous loss for my dearest of cousins, Milton and Myron. I remember Joe very fondly and have donated $75.00 to the Gulfcoast Hurricane Relief in his memory. “May you at last be at peace and one with love.”
I had many great conversations with Mr. Jenkins. During my all to infrequent visits, he was the most gracious of hosts and I felt a part of his family. I will miss him.
My deepest sympathies and love to Myron and Milton and Gail.
Semper Fidelis
While I never met or talked to him, I was aquainted with Mr. Jenkins’ sons.
My sympathies go out to Milton and Myron in their time of grief.
Myron & Milton,
Please accept my deepest sympathies on the passing of your Father.
I would like to share my love and condolences to those closet to Joe. I never was able to have met my great aunt Doris, nor great uncle Joe but what I do know is they were brought together to produce two amazing sons I love dearly, Milton & Myron. May Joe be in an amazing place now looking down at all…
Milton & Myron
My best to you and your family
Sorry for your loss
Take care
Larry
Myron and Milton,
Sorry about your loss, it sounds like your Dad was a great guy and will be missed, its all you can do.
As my father you were all a Dad could be, all a friend could be, all that and more. Any good I am is from you. I love and miss you so much I will be telling you every day. Be at Peace, loving father.
I only met him twice, but I’ll always remember his kindness and humor, which lives on in his sons.
My favorite memory is laughing with him and his sons at a tennis court on his visit to California over twenty years ago. I consider myself lucky to have met him. My love to Milton & Myron.
Dear Uncle Joe
This is the letter I’ve been meaning to write and never did. You were such a constant and stable influence in my life. You are always on my mind and in my heart. Your wisdom taught me valuable lessons. Your love and kindness was infinite, and will always mean a lot to me. I am sorry we lost touch, and I hope with all of my heart you know how much I love you. I am grateful to have had such a wonderfully caring uncle. May you rest in Eternal peace knowing the lessons you tried so hard to teach me will now live on with me for the rest of my days. Thank you so much for everything. God Bless YOU! I love you and will NEVER forget you!
Your niece
Chris
