Gary Spies Fremont, NE March 23, 2018
"So sorry to read of Joe's passing, My sympathy to his family. I always will recall your graciousness and friendliness. I recall that one of the times when I had stopped for milk, Joe had gotten home in his good clothes and found himself locked out of the house. Since it was chore time he was milking in his underwear. We both had a good laugh. Again my condolences and I know Joe will be missed by all who knew him."
