As 1 of the 6 lucky people to have called you my Grandfather and to have grown up next door to you and luckily spent nearly every day of my life with you, I can honestly say that I do not have 1 unpleasant memory of you. I would not change 1 minute that I spent with you. In my eyes you are perfect. You taught me so much including, how to fish, how to drive, how to hit a ball and so much more but more importantly, you taught me how to be humble, selfless and kind. You taught me how to love and be loved and how to lose and be lost and how to find your way back. You will be with me forever. I promise.

When we exchanged our vows in 1950, we tucked them in our hearts. We spent a wonderful lifetime together for 63 years. We taught this love to our children and their families. I'll hold you in my heart until we are together once again. I love you.

Please accept my sincere sympathy upon the loss of your Dad and Husband. Joe was my first "boss" and I could have wished for none better. He was one of the most fair and honest persons I knew and was honored to have worked for him at Howe Convenient/Hawley Oil. I extend my heartfelt sympathy to all his family and pray God will keep and sustain you in your time of loss.

Warm hugs and kisses to the Ballard family as we remember such a wonderful man. Had some great visits on the porch and so appreciative of the generosity of Joe and Liela. I remember their giving us some furniture as Tom and I were just starting out. Wonderful laughter was always present in their home in Hawley. A great man who will be missed.
