I remember Joe being such a friendly guy. He came to my parents farm many times back in the 80s. My dad, Harold Johnson loved having him around working with him. My sister was married to his brother, Rob, so I saw him quite a bit back in the day. He was always a joy to be around.

I was fortunate to know Joe since high school. We did farm business together, hung out together, he was part of our family. Never heard him speak bad about others and always had a great smile with a hearty laugh. So many great memories hanging out on the weekends at the old farms he would live in. I will always remember him saying "Oh Yeah" in his own happy way. Joe was always a joy to be with, he would always lighten the day no matter what. A kindest of souls they will love him in heaven as we did on Earth. Farewell, but never forgotten my friend.
