My condolences to the West family for the loss of your dear loved one. During this most difficult time, may your hearts be comforted by Jehovah God's promise to wipe out every tear form our eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore(Rev. 21:4). Also during the days to come, may Mr. West's sweet memories fill your hearts with joy and peace.

I was so sorry to learn of the passing of such a wonderful family friend, Joe West. What a devoted family man and friend! Debbie, Mark, and Marcia: your dad will be sorely missed, but you have so many special memories of him and your beautiful mom. Your dad was my dad's special handyman! If a light bulb needed changing, Dad would say, "Call Joe West!" Don't know how we survived without "Uncle Joe"! Will have all of you in our thoughts and prayers.

To the family of Joe West. I was so sorry to learn that Joe West passed away. He was a kind, generous man who dearly loved his family. I first met Joe and Betty West in April 1969 and, during all the years I knew them, they were very gracious to me. It was an honor to have known them both. Please accept my sincerest condolences for your loss.
