"We were next door neighbors for many years. Joe, you were always someone we could count on if we needed anything. We enjoyed your stories and sharing a beer or two. You will be missed in this life and we look forward to seeing you again in the next one."

"Todd, Faye and family you have our deepest sympathy. I meet the Wright family when they moved to Boerne and Todd was in my second grade class. Joe and Faye were always ready to help in anything needed. Ken and Joe helped with Indian Guides doing camp outs etc. Joe ALWAYS had a smile and loved his family. All of you are in my prayers. May happy memories bring you peace and comfort. May his soul rest in peace. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

"So sad to lose a very sweet man. I came to know Joe and Fay as our neighbors in Boerne. Joe had his beloved Tuffy by his side 24/7. It was a beautiful relationship. I had many chats with Joe in the neighborhood. He always had a twinkle in his eye and could make me laugh every time. He shared a birthday with our daughter, and would call her every January 4th to wish her a happy birthday. He had stories of work, family, odd jobs and military. He had a big heart. He acted gruff sometimes but I knew he was a real softie. God rest his soul."
