It seems like I've known Joe forever, but I guess I first met him in the 1980s at the Hustisford Clinic. We really connected and I feel like I almost lost a brother. I really respected him and enjoyed our visits together. I extend my deepest sympathies to the family--he really will be missed. Sincerely, Doc Weber

I'm sorry for your loss Karen. Joe was such a great man and awesome friend to my dad. I'm gonna miss going to the horse races with you guys. Dad and Joe are resting on a mountain betting on a race now.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

R.I.P. Joe! To the family, I just wanted you all to know how deeply saddened I was to hear of your loss. Joe was a good Dude and he was always alright with me. We became good friends at Strohwig, where I have also worked with Joe jr. and Cody. I will always miss the times spent with Joe and our dear friend Jerry Haag and all of the conversations that we had over the years. Whether it was about investments, gambling, horse races, or just life in general. Joe will not be forgotten! My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you all!
