What a loss of a dear person. So sorry to my cousins in virginia. Joe was a real person. He was never phony. Just meeting him would bring joy to any one. He had a special way of making you feel accepted and loved. I can't say enough about what an inspiration he made in my own life. He was my friend and cousin. Most of all a dear person that cared beyond what most people are capable of. Never imagined loosing him so soon. Definitely he is with his Lord and savior Jesus Christ. He was proud to say that he and Jesus walked many miles together. Never will I forget him and his kindness to me.

sorry to hear this I have not seen Joe for a long time but he is still my cousin and will be missed. i am one of the Maryland cousins, Dinky,s brother Glenn and Dottie Conner
