Thank you for the nice memory post in Honor of my Uncle (my mom's brother). He loved his job and did it honestly and represented the airline's in high standards.
ReplyDeleteJoe is survived by his wife of 61 years, Sue, and son Travis. He was preceded in death by his son Ryan in 1990. Joe loved his family, mini-ranch and his Cessna 182. The family had many adventures in that airplane. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He always had a big smile on his face.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear of Joes death. I would love to get in contact with Sue.
