My deep sympathy to the whole Lewis family for the loss of Joe. I knew him as a teenager and as a thoughtful neighbor. May he rest in piece. May you take comfort from a friend who cares and know that having you as a thoughtful neighbor continues to be appreciated.

The entire Dotts Family sends their love and condolences to Joe's family. A more wonderful man you would look hard to find. Life will be a little more lonelier without you in it.

Joe and Donnie were both like brothers while we were growing up. I'm sure Donnie and I drove Joe crazy with the things we pulled at horse shows. He was always the big brother who tried to keep us out of trouble. There are no words to express how deep our sorrow is at this untimely and unfortunate loss. Our prayers and are with all of you.
