CandleMy favorite memory of my dad will always be when he first got to see my daughter his granddaughter. No matter how sick he was or how bad he felt I couldn't not forget the excitement that was on his face the smile he got and the tears. I will always love you not matter what happens

CandleJoe you were so forgiving and patient with me. You thought me some much thru the years about RV parts, additional businesses to order from and how to explain to customers procedures that they can try in an emergency. Especially since I was a newbee in this field. You will truely be missed.

Joe may not have been the perfect student but his smile could make you forget that. He grew to be fine man who loved his children more than anything. He would put them before himself. Clayton and Levi and the rest of Joe's family you have my deepest sympathies. May God heal your broken hearts.

L Lacey Schreurs on Mar 24, 2015

Joe,
You are one of the greatest things to ever happen to my sister and Colton. I will never forget the happiness you brought to my sister's life and her smile every time she spoke of you. I will remember the way Lexi made you smile and how she would give her Uncle Joe kisses. Rest in peace Joe. You will never be forgotten.

My favorite memory with my dad is well everything. He was so strong when my biological father didn't want me his heart of gold said I'll take that one year old and raise her as my own. Since that day I have been a daddy's girl. I love you more then words can explain. I miss you more then I I've missed anyone before. You ate now pain free daddy. Seeing you take your last breath was the hardest thing but I'm happy your free. I love you. Jeanette,Serenity, and Myles will be told about you everyday.

My favorite memory of Uncle Joe was when he was teaching me how to drive a manual. My legs were shaking so bad I was so nervous and worried I would disappoint him. I asked him if he wouldn't mind getting out and letting me go up and down the driveway a few times by myself until I got comfortable. When I was ready he took me out on the highway. I was on highway 47 getting ready to turn right onto highway 45. I waited for an opening and... I snubbed it out. Uncle Joe busted out laughing so hard!! It got me mad so I started the car, put it in gear and sqeeled around the corner. He patted me on the back and said "Now that's how you do it!! Thatta girl!!" I will never forget that moment or that amazing laugh of his!! I miss him so much and always will!! He was the big brother I never had. ):
