Joe is exceptional. He did not spend time talking of his accomplishments, but instead, he enjoyed them. He liked showing chickens and spending time with his 4-H group and time at the fair. He liked being involved (once he got to know you). Being Mr. Paw Paw and having so many friends. Words, I am sure, can not express the loss we all feel. Joe will be remembered.

I Feel so bad about what happened to Joe. He was so nice and funny. He smiled alot. I was not totally best friends with him but I was friends. My mom is on the committee for the Mr. and Miss. Paw Paw, and thats where I met him. I remember blowing up balloons with him and it was fun. Then in school I saw him every now and then and said hi or chatted with him. This is such a terrible thing, like when our friend Levi passed away last year, we all broke down. Now, another kid it just brought shock. I know this is kind of late and not many people will get this, and it is kind of long. My church and I have been praying for your family and friends. Joe will always mean so much to me and many of my friends. He's changed our lives, even if he didn't know it.

Sorry to hear about Joe. His locker was right by mine. I can't believe he has passed. Joe was an extremely amazing person. I'll keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
