It was with sadness that I learned of Joe’s death. We were close friends at school, but our paths took different directions after I left Blytheville in 1955, and we never connected again. I never doubted that he would have a good life, and the notes I’ve read here and on Jennifer’s Facebook confirms that I was right.
Sending our heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. Daily may God give you the help needed as you try to cope (Ps.34:18) with the loss of Joe. He touched the lives of others and will be sadly missed.
Patsy, remember the time I baby sat for ya when ya had those four little foster girls. That I think was one of the hardest job I’d ever had. lol . My fond memories of you Joe & Patsy were of ya’s sweet personality’s. I did so much going to the Ray home, there was always lots of laughter & just good people. Thanks for letting me be a part of your family. Prayers for you all. Love you Patsy & Ray Family. God Bless each one of you!!!
I’ve always looked foward to visiting with Joe and Patsy at family reunions and other events. Their love and care each other, their immediate family as well as extended family has always very apparent. Joe always had a smile on his face and asked about me and my family every single time I saw him. He was a very sweet and humble man, and he will be missed. Keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers.
