Joe will be missed. It looks so strange to pass the corner now that the building is gone.

I remember Joe well. He was one of the hardest working individuals I have ever known and was always looking for new business opportunities, All I ever knew of him and Velvia was that they loved their community, friends and neighbors.

He taught me you can do anything even what you think is the impossible if you really want to. He taught me the value of friendship and love. He was the most tender hearted person with a hardcover on the outside… showed me so many new and amazing things and taught me everything I know about flowers and produce.. An angel in earth now an angel in heaven!
