Jeff and family, I had the pleasure of working with Joe for several years at Broughton Hospital in Occupational Therapy. He was a man of integrity . I hated to hear of the passing of your Mom just a couple months ago. I know your Father was looking forward to their reunion. May God bring you comfort.
I’m a better person having known you Joe… thank you for your trust and your kindness and inviting me into your family. Give Faye a hug and kiss for me. ❤️
Jeff and Nina: Love and prayers during this time💔
Jeff, my brother, I am so saddened to learn of your father. He was a good man and taught us a lot while Aunt Faye tried to keep us in line . I miss them and all our great times growing up. May God be with you and the whole family.
So sorry for your loss.
Always enjoyed visiting with Joe and his family. Always enjoyed Joe and his Dads stories from Morganton, N.C. I know everyone will miss Joe, but we know that he is in a better place. Dale Sloan, Cousin
