Papa Bear
In just a few more days, it will be 11 years since we had to say goodbye. Sometimes it feels like yesterday and sometimes forever ago. The selfish part of me hates it daddy! I wish you were still here. I wish you didn´t have the cancer and were still here! You have another great granddaughter. Oh you would so love her! She is already 11 months old. You would be so proud of all of your grandchildren and you would absolutely adore your great grandchildren! Christmas Eve is not the same without you. I miss you so much daddy! I´m looking forward to the day when we are reunited in Heaven! I love you Papa Bear!!!
Always and forever your little girl,
Tammy

Wow, my sweet Papa Bear, I just can't believe it has been 9 years on January 2nd, since you left this world. 9 years just doesn't seem right as it only seems like yesterday some times. I think of you and momma often and gosh I miss you so incredibly much!! You have 2 new great grandchildren that I know you would simply adore. They are so amazing!! And I just know they would be crazy about you too!! It feels so lonely without you sometimes. I just want to pick up the phone and call you and tell you that I love you one last time. I just want to hug you and momma one last time. But I know our time here are earth will soon be over and we will be reunited with Jesus and I will see you once again! But until then, Papa Bear.... I love you so very very much!!!! Love always and forever, Your little girl, Tammy

Cheryl

Mark and Pat

Although I did not know Joe...I know he raised a beautiful daughter in Tammy. I hope God guides you and your family through the loss of your dad. My prayers go out to everyone affected by his passing.

Cheryl, I am so sorry to hear of Joe's passing. During this difficult time may your faith and beautiful memories bring you comfort and may you feel the certainty and peace of love's everlasting connection.

Mr. Joe, it was an honor to have known you. Seeing you enjoying a song was always a thrill. You always had an encouraging word and a smile that will never be forgotten. I will miss you. Thanks for everything!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Mr. Joe was a wonderful man. May he stay in my prayers.

Seems like only yesterday you were that unwavering and principled young supervisor in Public Works at the Yard - I can't believe I've only known you and Cheryl some 29+ years! You will be remembered not just for the legendary parties on Joe's Lane and the pleasure you found when serving in solitary confinement in your windowless (and soundproof) drum room, but for the joy you found in your family and friends. I think even Rudy finally took a shine to you and permitted you to share his bedroom. There are so many memories - I can just imagine the laughter from St. Peter and the heavenly hosts when you try to explain how you came to be tagged with the nickname of "bucket Joe!" Gonna miss you man!

We remember Joe and that great smile. He left a true legacy of love and an abundance of friends. We're grateful that our when God knitted Joe's tapestry, that we had some threads intertwined in his life's story.

Joe - You will always be missed and loved by us....That smile, that laugh, and those hugs! RIP dear friend. Love, Dee Dee and Luke

Joe - I will always remember our years of riding our Harleys, shooting pool (rolling the balls, as you would say) and going and listening to Nu Attitude's southern rock and roll, but most of all, I will miss my friend to talk to and cut up with. You will always be remembered as a great man, and a good friend. Luke

Joe was a strong and gentle man. He knew right from wrong and had a habit of doing the right thing. My love and condolences to Cheryl and all of those who loved him.

Cheryl, I know you miss him so much. He was such a nice and kind person. I am so sorry. Just know he loved you dearly and is your Special Angel, now free of pain. Remember.... you will see him again one day... Love you both, Laney and family.

I can't say enough what Joe meant to me,my family and the band i play in.He was always there when we needed him.My life is better because i knew Joe and i will surely miss him.

Tammy, Randy, and Family, You have my deepest sympathy. My prayer is that God will bring you the peace and comfort that only He can provide. Please rest in the knowledge that God is omniscience and knows all of our needs. He will always take care of His children.

Ed and I were privileged to have you as our neighbor for 23 years. Even though we have moved away, we will always know that you were the best friend and neighbor anyone could ask for. You will be missed by many. RIP

RIP the world is gonna be a little less without you in it but I'm happy to have known you.

For you Papa Bear...now whole and with the Light of the World...our Lord and Savior. I will always ? you!! I miss you! !

For you Papa Bear......now whole and with the Light of the World..our Lord and Savior! I will always ? you!! Miss you!!

Joey, Kim, Kinsey and Joey. Our hearts hurt with yours over the loss of your "pop", "Mr.Joe" and "granpa". We love you.

Uncle Joe, what can I say? I didn't get the chance to say 'see ya later', having my own cross to bare, but I love you, we had good times together! and I can say at 15 you taught my how to drive your 18 wheeler, and yes sir I still know how, I've beat you on the pool table and you have wore me out on the dance floor. You were there when my dad died and Joey and Tammy shared their dad with us! I love you say hi to my dad and may The Lord embrace you

I never met him, but he raised a wonderful daughter.... My thoughts and prayers go out to your family through these rough times. Let me know if I can do anything for you!

Joey, Kim and family, Fred and I are so sorry for the passing of your pop, we will be thinking of you. Please let us know if we can do anything. Sincerely, Mishell and Fred

I was honored to have met him once at Hannah's graduation party. We had a great conversation about life in general. It was a great pleasure to meet him and talk to him like I have known him all of my life. You will be missed by many!! Sending my love to Tammy, Randy, Hannah & Alexis. Also to all the family and friends.

Grandpa, I really don't even know where to begin! I love you and miss you so very much! You mean the world to me! I'm so thankful to have had such a wonderful grandfather! You are such a strong and brave man! You fought a really tough battle and I look up to you! Although I do wish you were here, you are in a much better place! You have been taken into the kingdom of God! You're perfect now! I'm so glad that we were all by your bedside the night you took your final flight home! You will be truly missed and absolutely NEVER EVER forgotten! I love you Grandpa with all my heart and soul! Miss you bunches!!! ????

Tammy, Joey and Cheryl..there are no words that anyone can say that will ease the loss of a father and husband. Only knowing that are Father in heaven will welcome his child with open arms. He will also help heal your hearts. Joe will forever live on in everyone's memories...the best ones will come out in stories someday with smiles and great laughter. Love you! You are in our prayers!

Sorry for the loss of your loved one. He was a sincere, gentle and kind man. The short time that I was able to be in his presence will leave a lasting effect on me. Missed but never forgotten.

Papa Bear, Papa Bear...I just don't quite have the words right now to describe how much I already miss you and love you. I will ever be so grateful to God for giving me the opportunity to have had the time to spend with you since learning of your cancer. You don't know how comforting it was to me that you waited for all of us to get there before you took your last breath. I know I am selfish in wishing you were still here, but to see you suffer as you had was even more painful. I am so sorry you had to endure that. It was so hard to see. But daddy I am doing pretty well for the moment just knowing that you are no longer suffering. I love you so very, very much! I miss you so much. And I know you love and miss us too! I rejoice in the day when I can see you and Mom again. I will miss being able to just call you again to say Hey! I know your sheltered safe within the arms of God and I couldn't ask for anything more. From the bottom of my heart, Papa Bear.....I love you!!!! Love always, Your little girl Tammy

Rest In Peace, Mr Joe.

RIP Pop, I'm gonna miss you!
Joey
