I remember Joe when I was a very small child. My grandparents Bob & Ann Canfield lived next door for years, and even remained in contact after. As an adult I took my children to meet the Wetzel´s and we were invited in like we never missed a day. He showed us the fireplace my grandfather helped build in his home and shared stories with my kids. Lifelong memories!

Joe was a great man and family friend. Knowing Joe, and his family, has been an honor with many loving memories throughout my life. I will always have respect for this man. I pray for healing and love for his family. Joe will be dearly missed. Much love to all the Wetzels at this time.

So sorry for the passing of your dear dad. You were a great son and an example for all of us as you took care of your mom and dad in their twilight years.
