A mountain of a man has left us. This community weeps for the loss of a great man. I thought the world of Mr. Joe who was like John Wayne to me. I will never forget him rescuing me with the tractors all the time. If a horse had to be put down, he was strong enough to do it for me and bury them too. He was always there when you needed him. Loved by all who were lucky enough to know him. There are no words I can express to the family of what they all mean to me. I have loved his family from the first time I met them. No better people exist in this world than the Clark family. The cowboy has ridden away……the mountain is silent……the memories will last forever.
