Joseph FitzPatrick,

We met Joe when he lived in Hardin and worked for the newspaper. He was so funny and so caring. His writing was interesting and well done, which made us want to get to know him better. He always had time to talk and visit about anything and everything. We feel so lucky to have known him however briefly. Our love and kind thoughts go out to his family at this time. The sun doesn’t shine quite as brightly.

Things I know about Joe: He loved the Lord. He loved music especially hymns and the Who. He liked growing his own veggies even if he had to set up his own mini garden in his apartment. He was a true believer in a secret society that was manipulating the world. He would give you the shirt off his back or put a warm blanket over you if you fell asleep on his front porch. He loved his mom and dad so very much. He loved the Navy. He was very very smart. His kids were his world and he taught them to be "good people". He always wished he could do more. He wrote for three years for the Original briefs daily newspaper as well as printed folded and delivered them He fought many powerful demons daily until he grew so tired he went to rest in the arms of the Lord he loved so much.
