My friend Joe it was a great pleasure meeting you and enjoying your conversation when we talked. We would talk about everything that came to mind. You were a great person to me and Maxine I will miss you very much. From big Sykes and Maxine.

Just learning of your transition. It saddens my heart. We once shared a special bond. Blessing and condolences to your wife and kids.

Missing my friend dearly. We would go weeks without talking but when he called we talked and laughed for hours about everything. He was a true gentleman of character and wisdom. The way he spoke about his sons was a testament of how great of a father he was. Condolences to the family. Deanna

When I think of Joe, I will always remember his comforting smile. Joe was like a family member. My condolences to his wife, children and the Anderson family. May God continue to watch over each of you.

Darlene Booker: I have known Joe all my life since childhood living in Drew, MS. Joe was always a respectful, caring, giving, and cheerful person. He would always see the good in others and always willing to help anyway he could. It is hard to believe you are no longer with us. I give my condolences to his wife, children, and the Anderson family. Joe will truly be missed. In this most difficult time, may God continue to give peace and strength to the broken-hearted. Psalms 121:1-2 "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth." May the Peace of God be upon us all!!

From: Ollie Booker, Drew, Mississippi

I am sending Condolences to his wife and the rest of the Anderson Family. Joe will be forever truly missed by the Booker Family.
May God surround you with grace, strength, and mend our broken hearts!!!

Joe was a good man, friend, hard worker, and the way he talked of his sons i know he must've been a great father. Having worked side by side with him for the past several years, he will be dearly missed. I pray the Lord's peace would be upon every family member, friend, and co-worker.
