We just learned of Joe and Merle’s passing from our friend Ross. We became friends with them through the Country Music Club in Florida. We were entertainers and they were the Dancers. We remained friends after they moved to NC and visited them several years ago. They were both great people and will be sadly missed. God Bless….Harry & Carole Neeves
Thanks to Joe Jr. we heard of Merle passing and also learned Joe Sr. had also passed in September. So shocking to hear. We will always cherish our friendship with both dancing and enjoying Country Music and get togethers during the years. We feel Blessed to have had share their life with us.
They were really great people and fun to be around.

Joe and Michele, So sorry to hear about your mom. JJ & I were at your dad's service. We knew them for about 20 years, and loved celebrating their anniversary years ago. We'll miss them, and are so blessed that they crossed our paths and became great friends. Cherish your wonderful memories. Bernie & JJ James...
So sorry Joe & Michele, I loved them both, they were like family to me. At least they are together in heaven now. Hope they get to say hi to my Mom & Dad.
Heart felt sympathy to the family at the loss of so dear friend. We spent time line dancing and time at the pool socializing with her and Joe Sr. Merle will be missed.
Joe, So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
