I am so sorry for your loss. It was quite a shock to learn of his passing. I have many fond memories of my time with Joe, from high school to church activities. He was always a caring, thoughtful and kind person with a great sense of humor. He always spoke proudly of children. Joe has gone to His greater glory, but he will always be remember to those who’s lives he touched. I will miss him.

I was shocked and saddened to hear about Joe. I haven’t seen Joe in many years but have thought about him often. He was kind, clever and intelligent and always fun to hang around with. I had the privilege of playing on Williamsville’s first football team with Joe who was a leader on that team. My thoughts and prayers are with Joe’s family and loved ones.

I will always remember Joe for his kindness and compassion. I saw these characteristics in him as a teenager and throughout his life.
So sorry for the big void in your lives, Crystal, Joseph and Holly. May God comfort you.

Sorry to all in the Reinders Family. Joe and I spent many hours together over the last 45 years. Serious conversations always mixed with fun times as well. Whiffle Ball between his house and his parents, country road trips, going to Joseph’s basketball games, lunch at the Den or Dew Chili parlors, Lulu’s for breakfast with Denny Gatschenberger, and so much more. How suddenly the our good ol days end so abruptly.
My prayers are with you Mickey, Crystal, Joseph, and Holly forever. RIP JoeHenry! I often greeted him with the JoeHenry thing. His middle name.

I remember Joe mostly from our teen years and church activities together. Although I haven’t seen Joe in years I have been more in touch with the kids through Anna May (Mimi). My sympathy to all of the family for their loss. Praying for comfort and peace through the days ahead.
