Joe, Fair winds and following seas.

Beaucoup, I remember reading your post a while back.

We are all lucky to have men like Joe.

Joe was lucky to have a friend like you.

Well done.

Blessings through eternity, Joe. And thanks for the freedoms you helped buy for me.

What a bittersweet thing it is to know that you have given the last "outing" to a friend.

I took a dear friend of mine on his last prairie dog shoot. We both knew he was dying. He couldn't make it over the barbed wire fence but he was popping them off at 200 yards, resting on one of the fenceposts.

He then said he was getting cold, so I took him home. He passed a week later. RIP, you too, Jerry old pal.

You are a good friend and did what you could, that is all a friend can do.
Your friend is fortunate to have gone the way he did.

The world is lesser place without you and the other old "Joes" that pass. RIP "Joe".

Even when it's old age that takes them, it's always sad when a good man dies.

May Joe rest in peace.

Very touching story, thank you for sharing beau...

RIP Joe, as others have already stated; you will be missed Joe, but DEFINATELY not forgotten.

 

[PercyShelley]

Sounds like Joe didn't mind leaving too much, but the world will miss him anyhow.

Adios, Joe. I recognize and appreciate the sacrifice you made for your
country, and I know most other folks here do, also.

Vaya con Dios, amigo.

When I read your story it reminded me of my great uncle he was the kindest person I ever knew and at his funeral I really appreciated the honor guard for their professionalism in paying the final tribute to our family's fallen hero. I'm sure Joe was a great man and I feel like another family member has passed.

Beaucoup ammo;
My grandfather passed away similarly to Joe 8 years ago at age 86. We found two bronze stars, one a unit citation and one individual w/"V", and a Purple Heart in his personal belongings. We all knew of the PH. But not one of us knew of the Bronze Stars. A kinder and gentler man I have never known. I'm sure Joe was much the same.

Godspeed, Joe.
