Dear Kashinejad family,
My heart goes out to your family on the passing of a great husband, a kind father and a best friend, know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
I am deeply honored and blessed to have known Papa Joe. He was blessing in my life, and I will forever carry him in my heart.  In the past six years that I got to know him, he supported us like his family and fulfilled our grandparent role in US. We will always remember him with the greatest smile and a glass of wine in his hand. 

GOD BLESS HIM!

I would like to start with a message from a friend of mine when he heard that Papa Joe is not among us anymore. "Kind Papa Joe was everyone's friend, and he was smart to check out of life so soon after diagnosis, skipping trouble." My friend just met Papa Joe once at my birthday party. I want to live a life like Papa Joe, he left a great influence on our lives. He was such a supportive and ineffably joyful character. I can't explain how blessed my parents are that I got to know such an amazing family here! I have so many great memories with Sherrie and Papa Joe that I can't really put them in words, all those wonderful moments are beyond any language. I will definitely miss Papa Joe in all our parties handing wine to people and cheering everyone up. We will be always loving you, Papa Joe. Rest in peace. The memory of you will always be in our hearts. 

I don't recall seeing Uncle Joe ever not enjoying himself or smiling. Alot of times he was right next to aunt Sherrie and they were both so relaxed and looked like they were enjoying life together. I'll miss you Uncle Joe and am so sorry that we didnt spend more time together. I thought for sure I'd see you again in October 2020 and catch up and share some laughs. My heart goes out to our Kashi family. I wish I could pay my respects in person but want you to know we Love you all.

I had the privilege to visit my great uncle Joe two times, and both of those times, I remember that he made the room feel light and happy, and he would always crack the funniest jokes in his rich accent. We would play Phase 10 ( a card game ), and we would call the skip card “Skipjoe”, because he was such a good player, and everyone would always skip him! I have to admit, I did it a few times myself. He would always make everyone feels better as well, and I knew that he understood when people were going through rough times.      When leaving a voicemail, he would start it with “What are you up to you bums?!” , and then would remind us that it was our aunt sherrie’s husband speaking. 😂 Lastly, his food was THE BEST.  Because of him, my favorite style of food is bow Persian! My favorite dish was the chicken and lemon balls with rice. He was a very joyful and intelligent person. I’ll miss him. 

I was sad when I saw Joe's obit in the Bismarck Tribune.  I had Mr. Kashi (that is the name he had us call him) for 2 years at Driscoll, ND.  I liked how he taught.  He told us how hard he worked in school to better himself.  It was way different for him then it  was for us Driscoll kids.  I still remember some of the science/math formulas he taught us.  He was a great teacher and role model. At the Driscoll Jubilee he introduced you(Sharon) to  me.  I was a young kid, but that is the kind of man he was.  I told my wife about Mr. Kashi.  I always thought I was very lucky to have known him & to have had him as a teacher. 

Dear Kashinejad family,
Our sincere sympathies to you all as you grieve your loss. May your precious memories, support of family and friends, and the love of God bring you peace and comfort. 
- Steve and Linda Aafedt

Please accept my and my parents' (Hossein and Parvane) sincere condolences. I am one of many lives that Papa Joe touched during his life. He welcomed me to his family when I was new in the country. Sherrie and Papa Joe included me in so many events and I have countless great memories with them.  I am grateful for being able to get to know Papa Joe.  He will be greatly missed.

Deepest Condolences ...Keeping you and your family in my prayers.

Doni, Jennifer and family, we are truly sorry for your loss.  Cherish the memories of your father and know that we are thinking of you all at this time.  Jamie, Tracey and uncle Mel Moreland.  

I will always remember the pick ups and drop offs from the Richmond airport as Dara and I took off or returned from our latest adventures, Sherri and he often waiting in the airport to see his daughter return rather than just meeting us at the curb. He clearly was the type of man who would go the extra mile for his family, friends and community. His wit and intellect, as well as the stories Dara has shared with me, warmed my heart. He was a wonderful father, citizen and man. My deepest condolences to your family.

Mary and I will miss Joe greatly. He and Sheri hosted us on trips out to Richmond and showed us a great time. He was great fun to be around.
