I remember Joe when I worked at Safeway. He had an easy smile all the time! I recently had the opportunity to see him again at my new job and he hadn't changed, still friendly and smiling. I will miss him and keep him in my memories.##imported-begin##Alice Shipman##imported-end##
Joe and Elaine have been one of my most favorite hugs at By His Word Christian Center. I will miss his hugs and grand smile. We are praying for all of your family in this difficult time. We look forward to greeting Joe again when we join him in heaven. May God comfort you now and in the days to come.

I will miss Joe so much. I have lived next door to him for about 6 or 7 years. I always felt safe knowing he was next door. He would take Charles to school for me and mow my grass. I miss and will continue to miss the ringing of my door bell and Joe giving me the mail or asking me a question. He wasn't a friend he was family. His smiling face will stay with me for ever.##imported-begin##Bobbie J Skar##imported-end##
I only knew Joe for about 3 years. But his friendship will greatly be missed. We were not only neighbors, but also friends. I will miss him raiding our bin for the Sunday paper and him ringing our doorbell with either the mail or questions. Penny, rest assured that he is in God's arms and singing with the angels.##imported-begin##Sue Kalapos##imported-end##

To all of you, words cannot express how sad I feel for you & your families. You have all been like family to me for years. Joe has always been so good to me & my kids. The memories of Holy Rosary will live on forever with all of us. You were "Playground Joe" to my kids and many others. I will miss you and the way you always like to give me a hard time.

We were very shocked and saddened by Joe's passing. I enjoyed greeting and talking with him and Elaine here at By His Word Christian Center. He will be greatly missed by many. We are praying for you that you will be strengthened with God's prescence. Sincerely John Cook, Asst. Pastor BHWCC##imported-begin##Pastor John Cook##imported-end##
On behalf of my husband Sylvester Knox and my daughter R. Marie Knox, I, Roselyn Knox, would like to express our sincere condolence to Elaine and Joe's family memebers. I will miss Joe's awesome smile, and his awesome singing!!!! It was obvious to me that Joe loved the Lord and he had a heart and desire to serve the Lord. Joe was part of our Church Family at By His Word Christian Center, and therefore in the hearts and minds of the Knox Family - we were family!!!! We Love You Joe - From the Knox Family.##imported-begin##Roselyn Knox##imported-end##
