In life I believe you meet people that just make a mark on your life. Joe was one of those for me. I moved to Jefferson City when I was 24 and about to be married we purchased our first home. Joe worked for JCD and as a new homeowner we needed appliances and some furniture. I met this very kind and soft-spoken man who not only sold usvitems for oir new home but was one of the first person I met in JC except for family. I soon found out he was a parishinor of St. Martin’s over the years I would visit with Joe and Margaret at Church and other parish functions. He was always the same fine gentleman I first met buying appliances. Of course many years have passed. I was sorry to find out that he had earned his angel wings. I will miss his smile. As you grieve be comforted in the fact of how blessed of a family you were and are for having him in your life. I will pray for all of you at this tough time. May Joe truly rest in peace. God’s Blessing on all. Debbie
So sorry for the loss of your dad. He was a very good person and always had time to talk with us. We knew him for several years at St Martins and buying appliances from him at JCD. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the family!
