Texan, Patty, and Families,
Our hearts are saddened to hear of the death of Joe. We ran into him in Memphis one day and enjoyed visiting with him. We have such fond memories of him when he was a young boy living across the street from us. Those were some special times in our lives and we can always keep those memories of all of you. Our love and prayers to you our sweet friends.
