Woodlawn, AR Wednesday, September 13, 2017 Dear Family, how very sad I was when I learned of Joe's passing. It was like a part of my past was gone. We were neighbors "just down the road" for so many years of our lives. The Huskey family has always seemed like family. That's a part of the past I truly miss. Families aren't like that any more. To all his siblings, I love you and share with you in your grief at your loss. To all his family, I pray the Lord with strengthen you and comfort you through your loss and I pray you will all lean on Him to take away some of thepain. (I'm sorry I can't be with you. I just had major surgery. I will be with you in spirit and love.)
I love you all, Carole (Doss) Rushing

Wilmar, AR Wednesday, September 13, 2017 I am so very sorry to hear of Joe's passing. We were raised next door to each other as children and were at each others house almost every day. I am at a loss of words to express my sympathy other than to say my deepest sympathy to all of the family. I know he will be greatly missed. RIP
