    Joe was one of my favorite people I ever met. He bought that really tall deerstand for the farm, Kevin and I put it together and put it up while he laid in the grass and supervised. Once it was up he decided it was too high and he won't gonna sit in it. "That can be Alex's stand" he said and never hunted out of it even though he's the one that bought it. I killed my first buck out of that stand. He always accepted me and made me feel welcome in his home and welcome to hunt his land. I will always be grateful for my time with him and his family. I know that he is coon huntin in heaven now. I am so sorry for your loss, he was a great man and will truly be missed.
