Condolence: Dear Jim and Pat,
Val and I was so saddened to hear of the sudden loss of your beloved Joe. With three sons of our own about the same page we can barely imagine what you're going through right now. Words cannot fully express emotions at times like this so please be assured our thoughts and prayers will be yours in the days ahead.
Joe's precious wife and children will have the benefit of his strength of spirit and of the loving support for which your entire family is so well-known.
Love to you all, Stock and Val

Condolence: My sincerest condolences go out to Mr. Bower's family; I am devastated to hear the news of his passing. Mr. Bower taught me at Westpark Middle School 2001-2003. He was my Home Room teacher in Grade 7 and also taught me in other classes, my favorite being Language Arts. I'll never forget his class; I still remember all of his teachings fondly. He was an immensely passionate teacher and I am privileged to have been one of his students. May the fond memories we students have of Mr. Bower bring you some peace.

Condolence: Pat, Jim and family. We were so sorry to hear about your loss of Joey. It seems like yesterday that he was playing around the ball field while we played slow pitch. He was such a cutie then and we see he grew up to be a responsible and well respected adult. Such pride you must have. Our deepest condolences. Judy and Gary Stene

Condolence: So very sorry and shocked to hear of the loss of Joe. You don't know me, but I am a teacher in Wisconsin. Joe and I had a few encounters over the past few years. I can only say, the world was a much better place with him. He was inspiring, funny, fun, and way ahead of his time. His brand of dedication is rare. No words can sooth such a loss, but just know that even aqaintences from far away held him in high esteem. I want to express my deepest sympathy to all his family.
