We were very saddened to hear of Joe's passing. We did not know him well but remember with fondness our few meetings, and reflect on our admiration for him as a folk artist. Jeanine and I will always cherish the little Blue Heron that Joe carved to add to Jeanine's bird collection. Our deepest sympathy to Janet and family. Phillip and Jeanine Ross.

Janet, we are all very, very sorry to hear about Joe's death. Uncle Bill was very proud of his two girls and his extended family.I am sure, he would have said so, in his own way. All of us have many memories about what Uncle Bill and you two guys, did for us. All your families are living proof of that Family kindness. We did have some times, didn't we !! Janet, your true family faith and love is what keeps us together, during these times. The Bemko's

Janet I'm sorry I didn't get to meet Joe but I would like to send my condolences to you and your family. It's difficult to know just what to say because you and I haven't seen each other for such a long time but I do know from our chats when we met online that Joe was a fine husband and father. You take care, Hugs from an old friend, Barbara
