So sad to hear of Joe's passing...my deepest sympathies

Our sincere sympathies to the family.

I grew up with Joe and his sister Barb, we went to school together and had lots of fun at the farm, he will be missed by all who knew him, bye Joe

So sorry to hear of Joe's passing. Deepest sympathy

I grew up with Kelsey... and I have so many memories at their home! Joe was such a fantastic father and husband. I remember how much of a jokester he was... every day there was an adventure! I used to bring this baby sheep teddy over for sleep overs and I had no idea a lamb was a baby sheep, and I remember him saying “we should have told you it was called a turkey, than you would have started telling people it was a turkey teddy” and still today, I have it and call it Turkey... ♥️

Joe wasn’t just all jokes though, I remember one night a baby goat was born and he had it snuggled up in a blanket with him as he bottle fed it. He was a man with a HUGE heart and It breaks mine to hear what happen to him and what his family must be going through ♥️ He was too good of a person to be taken so soon... but I thank him for all these amazing memories I can cherish from my childhood with Kelsey and her family

Sending all mine and my families love to your family and With my deepest sympathies. Xox forever in our hearts. Rest easy Joe ♥️

Our deepest sympathies to Josh and Kayleigh and family at this sad time. Susan & Michel Latreille
