    My sympathy to the family. Being raised on the farm with Joe, I have many memories but the one that sticks out the most is the hot rod him and his brother made. We would take it to the gravel pit where the road had a big hill. Joe would fly over it airborne. I held on tight. So fun!!

    We are truly saddened to hear of Joe’s passing. He was such a cool guy. So easy to hold a conversation with. Blessed that we got to know him. I’m sure he and Janette are telling jokes, hunting and enjoying a beverage in heaven. Strength goes out to the family.
