The Flasher Family will certainly miss Joe Ferrell. He deserves a lot of credit for keeping this proud and heroic Family together over the years and for his support of this marvelous brotherhood. Thank you, Joe. God bless...

Joe served with my father aboard the USS Cubera, a post-war submarine. My dad was the skipper, but there was one time when the two of them stood on equal ground. This happened in the midst of a hurricane, Dad and Joe both at the helm, alone in the control room. The ship was being thrown around, manned by a skeleton crew. As Joe once told me, "Your dad said it was the worst storm he'd seen." I can picture the two of them, struggling like men caught in the claws of an attacking bear. Rank went out the window. Thanks to Joe, I have warm memories of my father as a human being. We'll miss you, Joe.

Joe was underage when he left the farm and joined the Navy just before World War II. Shipped to Australia, he served aboard the submarine USS Flasher, which sank more enemy shipping tonnage than any other American sub. After the war, Joe hand built his own home, only to have an eager buyer overpay to buy it during the housing shortage, and that sent Joe into a very successful construction career throughout Arizona. He will be missed.
