Sylvia developed alzheimer’s and Joe spent a decade serving and taking care of his wife until she passed away in 2008.

Rest in peace now Joe your work in done.

    Joe you were a stubborn man and had many quirks, but you did have a caring heart. I will never forget the many years you cared for Sylvia by yourself. When Sylvia passed away you cared for Bill for many months. After Bill passed away, I could see your body and mind slipping away like you had completed your job here on earth. Joe you did complete your job here on earth and your did a good job. I will always remember the stories you would tell me about growing up on a large farm as a child. I enjoyed it so much. I will also remember stories you told me about things happening to you and Sylvia and you would be so serious and I got the best laugh out of it. You never saw the funny side of life.
    Joe you did the best you could do and the best you knew how, now I hope you, Sylvia and Bill are rejoicing in heaven. Dave and I love you and will miss you!

    I have very fond memories of Joe Anderson, Joe was always very kind and supportive to me during the early years when Mark and I were in Boy Scouts. Joe and Sylvia produced 5 amazing offspring’s. You all are very gifted and talented. I know it was time for Joe to go to his final home. He will be missed,
    May God Bless your family.
    Respectfully,

    I wish I had gotten to know Joe, my grandfather. And I wish he had gotten to know his great grandchildren Haley and Will. Was thinking about him today so I left a message.
