Im a good friend of Josephs son Joel since high school and I just wanted to add my condolences to the Denbleyker family. I know Joseph is at peace & happier than he imagined now in Gods Kingdom.
Joe & Frank met in college, then worked together for many years in Michigan.
One of the things they enjoyed doing together was deer hunting in Northern Michigan, which they did for probably 25 years. We always enjoyed our time spent together with Joe & Lucy. He will be missed by all.
God bless Lucy & Family.
