I was at the Middle TN Veterans Cemetery for an interment yesterday, Feb. 9, 2018. I have met with Joe so many times as a funeral Director. He was always kind and very helpful. When Robert came out to meet me before the service was to begin, I asked where Joe was? He told me he had died. I was shocked, of course, but also very sad. Joe had always seemed like someone who was a good friend. To his family I would like to say you are in my thoughts and prayers. May God give you peace and strength for each day. I honored his life yesterday by visiting the site where he now rests in one of the most beautiful settings and surroundings anywhere in our country. A place where he was a part of the beauty and honor it represents. May God give each of you His comfort.
