One of the nicest people I ever met. I wasn’t around much but when I was he and Nancy made me feel so welcome. Way too young to leave this earth. I know he will be missed by many.
I’m so sorry for the family and for your loss. Sonny and I will always remember him. I know we will see him again one day.

One year, Randy and I were visiting Joe and Nancy while watching the Superbowl and Joe came by noticing I was a bit chilly. He asked if i wanted a blanket and i said, "Yes please!" He went back to the laundry room and came out brushing a warm blanket. He put it over me and I will always remember how good that felt! As he put the blanket over me he said, "I like my women warm." We all laughed. He certainly had a sense of humor!

Joe August was a warm, kind, wonderful man who happened to be my in-law and fellow grandparent to 3 of our grandchildren. He and Nancy enjoyed hosting holiday dinner parties and my husband Randy and I were fortunate to be invited to many of them. On one particular Thanksgiving I was in the kitchen with him as he prepared part of the meal and he complimented me saying,"Char you're a really great dresser!" I loved hearing that and it stuck with me. It wasn't just "I like your outfit" or "nice pants" he was complimenting me as a person who dresses well!
