I have so many wonderful memories of Joan and Hank. Getting to know them both while living in NC was such a gift. My heart is saddened knowing they are no longer here but I celebrate their heavenly reunion. My thoughts, my prayers and my love are with the family.

Such a flood of good memories of Joan that I would hardly know where to begin. Smart, personable and funny - I can hear her laugh now. Condolences to her children, Michele, Matthew and Todd, and all the grandchildren.
I was so very blessed to know Joan and Al, I cleaned their house in the country club and then when they bought the new home, I just loved them both so much, I loved all of her stories that she told me about her family and the places that her and Al went all over the world. I thank them both for all of the good times and great memories. Love Mary Legg
Joan was my co-worker in the Communications Department at St. Augustine's University (College). She was a great friend. guide, advisor, confidant and just a good person through and through.
I loved every minute we spent together at work, on our "lunch dates" and dinners at the house with her and her family when she and Al still lived in Raleigh.
She will be sorely missed.
Love always, Joan and my love and condolences to the family.
