Well Daddy, next week Mom, Lora, Mike, Kylee and I will be in your favorite place in the world. It will be hard because the last time I was there, I got to see it through your eyes. The joy in your face as you took me to Silverton, Chattanooga Loop, the Bar D and the Chuckwagon Competition (even in the rain) - will forever be one of my favorite memories. I was so blessed to experience it. I miss you every day!

I remember as a young mouthy apprentice electrician working on a few of Joe’s projects,I thought I was a funny guy,and every time I
would get a good joke on Joe,He would immediately turn it around on me,making me the butt of the joke.
Had many a good laugh,all the while working hard.
Joe was an good super to work under,and a fun man to work around. Good memories Joe,thank You 
God’s speed

A visit to Daddy's Happy Place...

February 24, 2021
by Sherry Stepp
Daddy LOVED Colorado and has been taking Momma there for over 30 years. I always said I would go visit but while Daddy preferred the mountains, I was a beach girl. I finally found time to go and visit in July 2020. He was so excited to share all of the things he loved about Colorado - the mountains, the old mines and of course the restaurants and food! I got to see everything through his eyes. I was also able to meet "The Durango Gang" - he was surrounded by so many people who loved him and will miss him. I was so blessed by that trip and I will always be grateful that God made a way for me to do it.
