I got to share the message of salvation with him! Going to miss you Joe and quoting the 3 stooges with you.

Joe was my ‘table mate’ here at the Care Center. A few times a life saver and always the keeper of sanity. Just a look and we knew when to move or leave. We communicated that way too. He’s badly missed. Our other partner & Joes roommate, Elmer passed 4 hours before Joe.
I’m lost without my guys. Rest well.
I love you grandpa, and I’ll miss you very much..your granddaughter lilee
