REST IN PEACE..
Polio struck Joe before the age of two, which he survived but was left with a severe limp, some would say crippled him. He worked the farm with his family, and as he grew he built up his upper body strength and was very strong. He eventually bought Shull Motor Co. now known as Hartselle Motor Co. He built a booming buisness.At one time Daddy owned Furniture building,lumber,resturant,and Carpet businesses. He worked hard all his life until Post Polio Syndrome struck him. It left him in a wheel chair and took his strength. He was a family man,Joe treated his wife of 53 years like a queen and he was her everything. They were made for each other.My brother and I always knew we were the most important in their lives, and when his grandchildren came along they were his joy.His sweetheart Jojo and buddy Zach. He adored his great grandsons Tyde and Noah. The last few years were very hard on him physically and mentally he had pain that most of us couldn't endure. On Nov.19th 2010 he said he was really sick but couldn't explain it, Hester was right by his side. During the early morning hours he got out of bed waved her to lay back down, she said I love you. Daddy took his life some time later. He was on ambien cr and still couldn't sleep we blame his state of mind on it. My precious Daddy is now standing in the Glory of God praising him! He can walk, even run if he wants. We will be together again because of Jesus. I love you Daddy, Daddy's girl

Daddy always saved for our yearly vacations, we went all over the US and Canada,Mexico. Mom wouldn't fly so we drove cars and motor homes, for two or three weeks at a time. Dad loved to travel.He was such a man's man, people respected him.I had guys hit on me and when they found out whose daughter I was, two actually backed up and ran to their cars!
When there were disasters in the area Daddy would go find his customers that might have had a home burned or destroyed in tornadoes and give them what they needed,he was such a kind man, well... tough but sweet in my eyes.
Suicide was not a choice he made, but rather a choice he happened onto when his pain was greater than his ability to cope
