I am so sad to hear of Joe's passing. I did not stay in touch with him after his accident and for that I regret. He was such a wonderful person and I have such great memories of him from PV. He is now walking the streets of gold and looking down on his living parents. God bless you, Mr and Mrs Buehrle.
I am so sorry for your loss, but I celebrate Joe's life and your example of true devotion and love. God bless you and give you joy and peace knowing that your son is dancing with the angels.
I just read of little Joes passing. So sorry to hear this but I know he is no longer in any way suffering. Bless you Mr Joe and Mrs Judy knowing that Joe is in the hands of the master healer.
Joe & Judy
I am sorry for the loss of your son. My thoughts, sincere sympathy, and prayers are with you at this time.
My love and prayers are with you, Judy & Big Joe. Little Joe was so sweet & his Great Grandpa Masters used to love talking with him. I'm sure they are talking again now.
Judy and Joe, I know you are sad for your loss of a wonderful son, but you must take comfort in the fact that you provided him with a loving, caring and fun living environment where Joe's every need and want was met with a smile. I remember the afternoon that I met with all of you in your home and enjoyed Joe's sense of humor and a genuine acceptance of his situation. We laughed about your experiences when you tried a monkey as his assistant and many other mountains that you successfully climbed as a team. I admire you both and hope that you memories will comfort you in the coming days. Sandy Barrett
It's been three days and I still have no adequate words. You don't need me to tell you how great Joe is and always will be. I'll cherish that last call he gave me as I was driving to Russellville. Such a sweetie.
I love y'all and hope you will let me know if I can help with anything. Many hugs.

Judy and Big Joe: My thoughts and prayers are with you. I wish every child had parents as good as you.
Joe: A truly caring and loyal friend, who was always there for me. Always ended each phone call with, "Love ya, bud," and meant it. The strongest person I have ever known. Determined to live, enjoy life and share his life with family and friends. Thank you for your friendship. You will always be an inspiration to me.
May God be with during this time of loss. You both are in my thoughts and prayers.
I came to know Joe and his parents several years ago and was so impressed by his toughness and fortitude, and his parents love and caring. What a commitment to each other! May God bless and comfort Judy and John and his other loved ones and friends.

Love and sincere sympathy to all your family. May the Lord give you comfort as you think about Little Joe in Heaven with him.
I am sorry for the loss of your son. I will be thinking of you.
God is Good.
Joe was a wonderful man. I remember his room was very messy when he was a teenager and I was looking for stuff to do at your house. I would read the Peanuts books of his, and he let me play video games on his console. One of my favorite memories is the day he took me sledding on the ice near the house. It must have been a few hours but he was so cool, and I was like his tag along sister. He was always a kind hearted person and I will miss his posts on Facebook. I Know he is free from this world and happy and smiling now. Love and peace be upon you. Mandy
Joe is special person. Loving to all, caring, inspirational. I'm better for having him as a friend. He set a great example of friendship. And that great smile! Much love and comfort to Big Joe and Judy. With them as parents it's no wonder he was so special.
