Joe was a very kind man and he always had a very witty sense of humor. Condolences and peace to his family.
What a great time and a great privilege going to a Cardinals game with the Barr family, including with Joe. Huge condolences, and prayers.
So sorry for you Chris. You and your family are in our prayers.
My prayers are with your entire family. Joe was a fun loving guy and we always enjoyed our times with him, whether just talking, watching the Rams play, Superbowl parties, eating out at restaurants and many, many New Years Eve celebrations! He was a treasure and will be missed by all of us. Share all those memories with those grandkids as that is his legacy of love for you all.
So sorry for your loss. I never met him but was fortunate to hear a few memories from Teresa. Sending thoughts and prayers to the entire family and to my friend Teresa.. 🙏🏻
Thoughts and Prayers with your family Rob
