What a life- how blessed he was with loving family and friends. He always had an interesting story to tell and he always had time to HELP Billy with a BROTHERHOOD project. He will be remembered……….
Vickie, I’m very sorry to hear about the passing of Joe. He was a Great Man and I always like speaking to him at church. You and the family are in our thoughts and prayers.
I love him. Dennis and I enjoyed his stories and just being with him. It was an honor to watch his baptism. Vickie, Tommy and family, we love you ALL. Keeping you in prayer.

My thoughts and prayers to Vickie, Tom and the family. This is a very trying time for us all. The loss of a loved one only amplifies the difficulties of dealing with these times. God Bless you all and keep the faith.
Tom, Vickie, Corey and family-
My thoughts are with all of you as you mourn. It sounds like Mr Pine enriched the lives of many, including all of you. May you laugh and cherish the stories and times you had together, the good food he cooked for you (and many others), and rejoice in the time he gave to others, as a testament to his life well lived.
Love,
Alan & Felicia
