Please accept my family’s heartfelt condolences on the loss of your dear loved one. May you find comfort and peace in fond memories of them, and the Almighty God’s promise in the Bible to restore those asleep in death to perfect life on a paradise Earth, and to "swallow up death forever."
Our deepest sympathy to Joe's family. He will be missed by the Choose-up at Wood Hollow Golf Course..
When I was in Jr. High, as we used to call it, Coach, for some reason, seemed to take a special interest in me. Not sure why, but we connected. I looked up to him and he would always tell me to "get back in there Farmer!"
Coach later started coming to church where I attended and when I saw him I was so proud to have him there. He will always be a special man to me. He cared! At the time, I needed that. He became friends with my dad and they became fishing buddies. I loved hearing about their outings from my dad and from time to time got to see him, but not as much as I would have liked.
My prayers are with each and everyone of you who were family or friends of this wonderful man. I appreciate your allowing him time to spend with others, but especially for the time he spent with me and my family through the years.
