Jody was a great friend during High School years. I lost contact with him, and most of my NEHI friends, after my time in the Navy because I moved to New Jersey. He will be missed by me and , I am sure, many other NEHI alumni. Rest In Peace Jody

Joe loved 54th Avenue Elementary. I can remember him telling me that he had an English teacher who made everyone keep a binder of what they had learned. He said he used it all the time. I do remember your name. Joe and I were not dating when he was at NEHI. We met at SPJC. I can't believe it has been four years. Barbara

I was really taken back when I saw all the names in this section of individuals I went to school with. Many of which I was shared classes with and others that were friends. I first met Jody in Mrs Walton's 4th grade class in 1955. He sat right behind me. I had just transferred to 54th Avenue Elementary from Northward Elementary when we moved into our new house on 50th Avenue North. We lived only 3 blocks from each other and became very good friends through high school as we both enjoyed playing sports, softball, baseball, basketball and almost every other sport there was. I have lots of fond memories of Jody that will stay with me. Jody, as we called him back then, is how I will always remember him. He was my friend and he is truly missed.....

Thank you, Ely. Joe talked about what a good friend you were to him. When he joined the VA, he introduced
himself to everyone as Joe. I met him at JC even though I was a year behind him in high school. He was a wonderful, husband, father, grandfather and friend. I miss him every day. Barbara

I am taking this time to encourage of all of you who are in a relationship to enjoy your time together - don't wait to take that special trip. Do it now. Laugh more, talk to each other more. Wishing you all many wonderful years together.

Eleven years ago today I lost my husband- soulmate. He was truly an exceptional person. Joe taught me so much about life and love. He was totally devoted to his immediate and extended family. If you were his friend, you had a loyal, caring friend for life. Two songs immediately come to mind when I think of him. Ambrosia's You're the biggest part of me; and of course, Dolly Parton's And I will Always Love you. Keep your loved one close and never stop saying I LOVE YOU!

So sorry for your loss. We can never fill the void in our heart, but can be grateful for the time we were able to share with our loved one. It has been almost 4 years that my husband passed away and I miss him every day. Can't wait to be reunited again. Wishing you peace. Denise Paulson Crais
