Our Heavenly Father has given us a life span of 70-80 years if we are especially strong. May you celebrate a life well lived and loved by many. May the words of Psalm 90:10,14 bring comfort to the family.

I met Joe a few years ago. We call him "Pops". A few months ago my car broke down and he stopped and asked if he could help. 93 and offering to help. God bless him. I will miss him.

So Sorry to here of Joe's passing. I enjoyed all of the years we worked closely together at the City, and when He worked w/me after the City. I usually had breakfast w/him at least every two weeks up at 19th & Haskell. He was somebody I could always rely on, and a very good friend. We will all miss him. First class guy.
