Jo, you may not remember me. My father was your Uncle Blaney. I'm the middle son that they nicknamed Butch. I have often thought of Uncle Josh and you guys and wondered how these many years have been for you. I am so sorry and personally saddened to hear this news. I just stumble accross the notice while trying to google our grandfather Joe. I remember Randy well but can't seem to recall his brother, must be younger. I think the last time I saw you was around 1961 or so. I hope you are well and please know that I am thinking of you. God bless.

May he rest in God's Peace and Joy til we all meet again in such glory we cannot imagine. God keep you and give you strength for the days and months to come.
