I’m sorry for your loss. I worked with Joe and enjoyed and admire his dedication to our Native Students and his family. May God bless you all during this difficult time. Brian Drapeaux and family.
The Duncan Family will miss our neighbor of so many years. She was a very special lady and so are/were all her critters. Our hearts go out to Karrie, Sam and Joe. We will always be right next door if you need anything.
I will miss Lucretia. We worked together in DC at the Office of Indian Education Programs. She was a colleague who quickly became a friend. She loved her family – her girls, doggies and Joe. She was an advocate for Indian people and Indian education. We stayed in touch in retirement via phone calls. My heart goes out to her dear family.

I shall miss her always. She was my cousin, but more important my great friend. We had some great times through the years from horse races to flea markets. She was always there for me. To Joe, Kerrie and Sam – she’s in a better place, free of confusion. My love to all of you. Linda
