“We were saddened to learn of Joe's passing. As a person, he was clearly first-rate, and it was a privilege to have known him. Joe's long, courageous battle with illness over the past few years was inspirational. Though all who knew him will miss him, he has earned his rest, and we can take comfort knowing that we'll see him again. We pray that those closest to him will receive God's comfort in abundance.
