Like all of my mom's brothers, Uncle Joe was a truck driver, but he was much more than that. Like all of them, Uncle Joe had a wonderful sense of humor and he was a great story teller. I'll always remember spending time at his house and playing with my cousins when they were little. He will be missed by so many and he will remain in our hearts forever. Rest in peace Uncle Joe. Sending loving thoughts to his children, grandchildren, and everyone else in his extended family. Love, Cheryl Ann (Boone) Hollinger

Praying for " Pop-Pop" and All of us that Love him . When I think of him the phrase " They Don't Make Them Like That Anymore " comes to mind . We all know Joe Sr. loved his Westerns . He always reminded me of John Wayne - Larger than Life, quick witted , brutally honest and a man of his word . ( Also a complete marshmallow when it came to his "Grandbabies" ) ! I know he is reunited today with his Loved Ones in Heaven , welcoming him home with tears of joy .
