Julia and Family of Joe (Cal)
It has been more than a year now since our beloved Joe Cal left us. I ran accross a clipping in some of my old books--a newspaper clipping which Joe had sent to my mom (Celestine Middlebrook) of Monticello, God rest her soul. The story was about his accepting honors from then President Nixon for an anti-drug related mission. Even though I didn't see my cousin very much, I'd talk to him every now and then and last saw him in 1997 in Jackson, MS. I grew up as a little girl under he and Ken and I loved them like brothers. I miss them both very much. Please know that they were such an integral part of the Robinson and Peyton families. Both Ken and Joe will forever be remembered in a positive way. May God bless and keep you all.--First Cousin Beverly M. Thomas##imported-begin##Beverly Middlebrook Thomas##imported-end##

My father thought the world of Joe Peyton -- and my father was a very difficult person to impress. I know Joe impressed a lot of people. I praise God that he blessed so many throughout his life and I mourn our loss as the world is a bit lesser place without him.##imported-begin##Susan Scott##imported-end##

Our deepest sympathies for the family of such a wonderful guy. Played basketball with Joe for two years at U.P.S. Although did not see Joe for many years was always reminded of his engaging personality and great character by sons and daughters of friends who had gone to U.P.S. and always asked if I had known Joe. It was always such a pleasure to respond affirmatively and share some fond memories. I feel very fortunate to have crossed paths with Joe Peyton. God bless,##imported-begin##Mike and Chris Havnaer##imported-end##

Julia,
I am so sorry to hear about your father. After reading the articles I can see where you inherited your drive, willingness to help others and to help those who may be at a disadvantage. What a great tribute you are to your dad. Liz told me you and your dad were very close so this must be very hard for you. Please give my blessings to your family and let me know if I can help in any way. My prayers are with you and your family, Val##imported-begin##Valerie Wells##imported-end##

Roberta: Our memories of Joe will never be hitching post to which we tie up and ignore present realities, we will cherish our memoreis of Joe. Our memories of Joe should never be anchors which hold back but sparks which move us forward.The claming of good memories is one force in life that motivates us and supports us through the good and bad of life. Joe memory is a precious gift from God. We will gather it up, and let it be for us a souce of joy.We will miss him coming home,playing basketball, eating and conversation, he was a joy of being a part of the family. My God bless you and his children, don't forget about us.##imported-begin##Amos & Mattie Bridges##imported-end##
