Guestbook
Will miss our talks about the railroad and the airlines when we were at family gatherings. We will miss all your stories about growing up in St. Cloud with all your brothers and sisters. Heaven has just got a lot louder 😁.
Joesy Boy was a terrific guy. We loved listening to him and his brothers and sisters stories of growing up in a family of 12 in a 2 bedroom house on 33rd and 3rd. As his siblings past Joe remained an ever present figure at family get together and holidays helping to keep the family lore alive for the next generations. When my Dad past away (His brother Eugene) he became a grandpa figure for my children and they will miss him and his terrific sense humor and his kindness. The Plombon section of heaven just a got a little bit louder and funnier with the Joes addition. God bless Joesy Boy.
Rest in peace Uncle Joe knowing that you touched the hearts of many and will be remembered fondly.
I thought he worked for the great American railroad… not a car shop.. and why wasn’t his kids listed, along with grandchildren and great grandchildren?
I managed the Hays Theatre until its closing along with being an assistant manager at the Paramount during that time. I thoroughly enjoyed the weekends that Joe would be our relief projectionist as he was always in great spirits and a wonderful person to be around. I spend many a weekend hours in the projection booth chatting with Joe and sharing stories – very fond memories – GodSpeed Joe!
