Tina,
My wife Jane and I are very sorry for your loss. Joe was a very special person. He made a difference everyday to many people. My mom Sharon just told me about what happened on Friday. I wish I'd met Joe many years before I did. He was an Angel from Heaven and everytime I saw him that kind spirit was always there.
We will all miss him dearly.
My family was where you are now 2 years ago. I ask GOD to help you and guide you as you come together for comfort and strength.

The family of Jean Fuson would like you to know how special Joe was to us. He was a friend for many years to Jean and Verle. Joe was so kind-hearted. He made sure that the snow was blown off their driveway and sidewalks even in the worst of conditions. He took good care of their cars and always had a smile on his face. He took our worries away by taking such good care of us. We will miss him and pray that God will comfort you during your time of sorrow.
May God bless you,
Jean Fuson and Family
