For those of us who know Joe Lee, he has been having an extremely tough time. He was in the hospital with COPD and pneumonia for more than 40 days. He is home and doing somewhat better.
Even worse, his son, Joe Jr., had been missing for about a year. His body was found last week close to a nearby small town.
Two women are being held as suspects in his murder.
I know Joe will appreciate your prayers or good wishes. He can't see well enough because of cataracts to do much on the internet, but I know several of us talk to him on the phone, and he sure could use some encouragement.
You may recall that Joe did the videos for our Shreveport Arranger Jams, and he is an accomplished guitar player and singer who uses a Ketron module as arranger.
Joe Jr's funeral is scheduled for Friday in Benton, AR.

Don, as we talked, please tell him I'm thinking of him. You're a good friend and I'm sure he appreciates the sensitive support you always provide in times like these.

I'm sorry to hear that as well and his son passing away. Family is our most important treasure here on Earth, and when one loses one member, the pain is too much. May God bless and confort Joe Lee and his beloved ones.
