With love and deepest sympathy
So very sorry of the passing of ‘“Sweet Joe”. He always had a smile on his face and a kind word. My deepest sympathy to Sue and all of his family. He was a fine man. Hope Ellis Kinman
My memories of Joe
I met Joe when I used to stop for lunch at the diner in Hebron when I worked at the greater Cincinnati airport during the 80’s and 90’s. He was always there at the “liars” table holding court with the local guys. He was friendly, funny and always had a smile on his face. I hadn’t seen him in over 20+ years but when I saw his picture in the paper, I immediately recognized him and remembered what a great guy I always thought he was. My condolences to the family.
So sorry for your loss
All of us in Biology at the College of Charleston were so sorry to hear of the passing of Joseph Spalding. You are all in our thoughts during this most difficult time.
Sending Love and Prayers
I am praying for all family members, asking God to give you peace and strength in the days ahead . It is so difficult to see a love one leave, but rest in the hope of seeing Joe again in heaven for eternity. My thoughts and prayers are with you all . Love, Nancy Adams
