meeting John weekly for coffee and Bible study. Joe enjoyed the beauty
of nature, hiking on Mt. Lemmon, playing chess, and bowling.
Appreciation goes to COPE Community Services for service and journey
with Joe. Family and friends have comfort in his belief in his favorite Bible
verse: John 3:16 (NIV) For God so loved the world that He gave His one
and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal
life. Friends may attend the Memorial Service on January 16 at 2:30 pm
