Joe was my favorite counter guy at Ikes. I loved hearing him talk about his travels and looking at the pictures he took. He was the sweetest. I'm gonna miss seeing his smiling face walk through the doors at Ikes. Rest easy Joe.

I've known Joe since I was little, he was one of the regulars at Ike's restaurant where my Mom Lori worked. Long long time ago we would always go camping with him and a group of people from Ike's. I can remember dancing to music around a camp fire, taking long walks in the woods where he would show me and the other kids all kinds of neat scenic things that you would have never noticed without him. Occasionally my Mom, brother and I would meet him at Kendrick's woods for a long walk and Joey's sub's for lunch, every one that knew Joe knew that he loved to take walks, and discover new and different trails. Since growing up he's always been in and out of my life. I will surely miss seeing him on his weekly visits to the Credit Union, he always made it a point to come in and see us girls. You're a good man Joe!! Rest in heaven!! -Erin-
