    We are so very sorry to hear of Joe’s passing. Joe and I (Neva Thompson) were in the same class at Feds Creek School. I have many fond memories of fun times with Joe, Jimmy, Jerry, Peggy, Benny and I. Tommy & I will not be able to attend the services but we are already praying for God’s peace for the family during the difficult days ahead.🙏🏻🙏🏻
