Daddy you were more than a father you were and will always be my hero. Through all the treatments and going to Richmond you never complained you always said it was worth it cause it was your life we had great conversations. You showed me more than I can ever tell you. I'll miss my car buddy and fishing. I don't know when the pain will ease but I know you aren't suffering anymore and are watching over us. We love you and miss you so much.
Missing you so much tonight. Hope your resting peacefully 💔😢 love you
Clarence u will always be in my heart. I will always cherish the time that we spend together, weather it be camping or just when we came down to VA to see you with Jenn. We always had fun whenever we came down to VA. I remember the time when I was kid u found a huge black snake and u brought it into the the house while mom was going to the bathroom and she said "u son of b**** get that damn thing out of my house." All Clarence could do was laugh at her. Ronnie will never forget the time u guys went fishing at Lake Nockamixon and ur pole took off into the water and you jump in after it like a crazy man. Ronnie and his brothers thought u were nuts bcee of the muckie fish that bite. You always made things fun and you always spoke your mind no matter who liked it or who didn't, u were like "oh well." You had alot of mom in ya. You were the best brother anyone could ask for. I always enjoy playing phase 10 with you too. What I am trying to say is I love you and going to miss you like crazy!!
R.I.P. I love you and miss you already....
Love you always,
Dottie Jorakie Goepfert
Dear Joseph,
Although we lost touch years ago, I really enjoyed seeing you last summer! I'm so glad that you're no longer in pain, but I'm going to miss you terribly. You have been the brother I never had and irreplaceable. We grew up together with the rest of our gang of troublemakers in Germany! I have so many great memories! One of my favorite ones is the time we all went to Paris and there was construction around the Eiffel Tower...you were driving and instead of following directions around the tower, you drove UNDER IT! We were all screaming and yelling for you to get out from under the tower and that you were gonna land all our butts in jail! But you just challenged them to it and drove on! I remember the bumpy cobblestones and feeling like my brains were rattling out of my head! That was vintage JOSEPH for sure! I'm going to miss you my friend. I'm sure Heaven figured out how to handle you and gleefully opened the door. God has His hands full, but He knew what He was getting into when He made you. Rest now. I'll see you in a minute. ❤️
We love you dad!! I dont know if ill ever get better ir use to the fact your gone..but I will forever cherish the times we had good bad happy and sad and forever be thankful for you raising me when you didnt have to and being the best father to me givinf me family and all the things your taught me but most importantly you showing me throughoutthe years to be strong and work hard. So for you I promise ill always work hard and never lose my strength. Its already not the same around here without you I miss you so much already.. theres a letter in your pocked with all the things I wanted you to know take the time to read it and send me a sign letting me know you have done so..I love you watch over us and over mom while I care for her like I promised you I would. Rest easy and dont cause to much trouble until I see you again. I love you forever love always your son ❤️

I only met Clarence 'Uncle Joe' once or twice, so my memory is from his niece Rebecca. Becky has always told me that she loves her Uncle Joe so much because he was the first person from Dottie's extended family that made her feel like she was truly part of the family. To a scared 12 year old thrown into an awkward situation, I can only imagine that was an incredible thing. RIP Uncle Joe knowing that your life toched even those of us on the outside looking in.
R.I.P my big brother you are no longer in pain. I LOVE YOU & WILL MISS YOU. I will remember us watching cartoons while mom & dad went shopping at the Q-mart. Also remember when you came home from Germany and tried to wake me up & my dog bite your hand. You yelled for mom that there's a rat in Jessie'sbed. Also when dad was in the hospital and mom almost shot you cause we seen all the lights on then turn off. Mom told us to stay in car & shuck in the house & got the rifle. She yelled for whoever is in here better come out or she was going to shoot you. You climbed out the upstairs window yelling mom don't shoot it's me your son Clarence. So rest in peace Big Brother love your little sister Jessie Joraskie Pinion. Yes 1 of your 3 sisters
