We’ll all miss Uncle Joe, especially his warm smile and ready laugh. Love and prayers to all, Carol Farquhar
Louise, I’m sure (?) that your Joe is the one I worked with at Haag Drug. I started at Haag in November 1964 as office manager. I had been on the audit 2 years before that. Joe was one of the many people that I got to know there who always stood out in my memory as a great Christian gentleman. After all these years Joe Schaub still stands out in my memory — I will always remember him until I join him in our eternal home in Heaven.
Louise, Greg, and Peggy, Heaven has gained another saint in your husband, father and father in law. Albeit one with a twinkle in the eye and a mischevious smile. Many memories of the SPN Jr CYO and other ocassions have been in my mind the last 24 hours when I heard it announced at 10:30 mass yesterday. Rest assurred each and every menber of your family is my thoughts and prayers today and in the days to come
