Evelyn, I worked with Josephine at Saleswest when he did the bids for me. I gave him that name cause i truely liked working with Joe. He would always say to me "Let me tell you how it's done" I got a kick out of that cause i would give it right back to him. "Let me tell you how it's done, my way" We would both laugh. I enjoyed the both of you when you came down for breakfast at the Elks. I always looked forward to seeing Joe & you since i had left Saleswest. My prays are with you and your family. Joe will be missed.

Evelyn & Family, I worked with Joe for a couple of years at Century 21. Joe was a wonderful person. Joe always spoke about his family and you could see the pride in his eyes. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family at this time of loss. I know what you are going through right now as I too have lost my husband not too long ago. May you always keep him close to your heart. Sincerely, Sharon Luke

/ Well, it's hard to know. It's been a long time since I saw Joseph as a baby. I'll have to find one of him at 3 months. Evan has curly hair like Joseph's, but Joseph's hair was dark like Maren's, and hers is curly-ish too. They both have ears like Papa, not me. They have those hangy-downy lobes. (Maybe like their Grandma and Grandpa too; sorry, Sherrie and Tony, I haven't cehcked out your ears!)I've looked and compared his early baby pictures with Evan's and they didn't really look alike but they do kinda act alike! I do see the Joseph Thomas mischief in Evan's eyes. And I do think I see Suzanne in Maren. Wow, I don't know, but they are both such good-looking kiddos!
