Joe and Katie had no children but he was loved and well taken care of by sisters-in-law, Susie and Lydia Hofer of Rimrock Colony and their children that he dearly loved: Philip, George, Walter, David, Mark, Joe and Albert. And those who did the most for him, Katie, Susanna and Laura.
The good Lord whom he always trusted took him out of our hands so He can take better care of him.
