Joe, as we will call him, was born December 14, 1928 at Oxford, Kansas. He passed away January 12, 2006 in Broken Arrow, OK.
He had a huge funeral service on Monday, January 16, 2006 at 10:00 AM at the Indian Springs Baptist Church located on South Elm Place in Broken Arrow, OK.
He was laid at rest at Floral Haven Cemetery at The Gardens of St. Paul.
Joseph had many goals he wanted to accomplish for the Legionnaires in Broken Arrow. He accomplished most of them including activating the Post, starting a monthly newsletter, A website that can be seen around the world, getting the legion programs going again, and many more. The one goal that was left unfinished was to get a new building for the Legionnaires. Joseph set up a Building Fund at the First National Bank in Broken Arrow about a week before he died.
If anyone wishes to donate to this worthy cause may do so by sending a contribution (which is tax deductable) to:
American Legion Post 110 Bldg Fund
PO Box 13
Broken Arrow, OK 74013-0013
With the help of the membership, the Post will see that this one goal left unfinished will be met.
Joseph will be missed around the Legion but he will remain in our hearts for a very long time.
