Uncle Joe, Charles Richard, Momma and I sought to visit you only to learn that "The Most High" had called you home. We were sad about it, but only because we miss you. You were always kind-hearted and had a smile on your face. My dad Donald Hargro, his brothers and aunt Ida Mae always called you Joe Nathan, their mother Mamie's brother. I remember contacting you when my father passed away in 2020 and you showed up! I THANK YOU for that! We love and miss you. Renee, Donald Jr, Gracie, Charles Richard. God Bless your family! Love the Hargro & Logan Family.
Nate, I am truly saddened to hear of your Dad's passing. Sending love and hugs to you and Anita. Peaches "Pete"
