Well Joe Backer ..I see you made it to heaven as you said you would. I thought you were conning me RECON... J/k ...I could see it in your eyes. Loved you Then...Love you Still. As Usual, Cherokee..... See you on the other side. I could feel you. Just like you said you could feel me...that's why I had to look for this page.
My deepest sympathy. I loved Joe very much. He'll forever have a special part of my heart and wonderful memories.
Joe was more than a Marine.
He was a Recon Marine.
An elite soldier and incredibly humble man who gladly served this great country in the jungles of Vietnam and Laos.
Few of us could ever imagine the things he witnessed and the things he had to do to survive that war...at the tender age of just 19. "We had to hold our fingers over the top of our canteens as we sank them into any stream or water that we could find in the jungle... to keep the leeches out." Little did any of us know that he would bring death home.
He truly loved his boys and granddaughters beyond compare.
I am....we ALL ARE... forever in his debt for our freedoms.
He will always be my HERO and I will forever miss his smile and his laughter. I can hear it now....
God bless you, Joe.

I'll always love you, Joe. Forever.
Go Browns.
I hate the fact that I'm saying good-bye here and never made the time to go down and see Joe in person over the last several years.
He was my fantasy football bud and my uncle.
I have amazing memories of him spoiling me as a child with baseball cards, trips to Disney and Bush Gardens, Go-Cart racing,....you name it.
I'll never forget that stuff. Love ya Uncle Joe.
Joeys smile was priceless. Prayers to family and friends. Don and Sue Graf
I am so sorry. I loved Joey so much. I have so many Joey stories that make me smile.
