Our thoughts are with the whole family during this time!! We have gotten to know Joel very well over the last few years and are very sad to hear about this!! He was a great man and our kids loved to go to his motorhome and visit with Jelly and Jam!!! Memories of him always stopping on his bike with the dogs in his basket to let the kids pet them!! He will be greatly missed here in michigan!!
Sue, Nancy, Jill and Jody,
Sorry to hear about Joe's passing. I always enjoyed my conversations with him when he visited Carmel. I hope you all stay strong and know that he would want you to continue to love each each other and be positive.
Thinking of you all.

Sue and family,
Thoughts with each of you at this time. I recall many fond memories of Joe and your family living in Peoria. Joe was kind with a sense of humor and another lover of golf just as Bill. And Jill keeping up with both men on the course. Ann Dugan Vipond
Dear Nancy, Sue, and Trinity,
We are so sorry for your loss. Your husband, dad, and grandfather was such a kind man. Even though we only knew him a short time, he always had a sincere smile and kind hello to share with us when we would see him outside. He helped Eugene so much when we moved here. He was always offering kind advice to any of our millions questions. We lost a great neighbor, but the Lord gained a wonderful man. Please know that your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
You are in our thoughts and prayers,
Eugene, Lisa and Meredith Fatica
I have great memories of growing up next to the Briles. Sue and Joe and Nancy Jill and Jody were like second family to me. Joe gave me my first job at the age of 13 and trusted me wth responsibility and opportunity.
My prayers and condolences to all of you - wish I could be there to give each of you a hug but that isn't possible. I'll be thinking of you Wednesday during his service.

Sue, I'm very sorry to learn of your loss. Please accept our condolences,
Joe and I go back to 1957 when he joined Burroughs as a cash register salesman in South Bend. There are many memories we shared over the years. He will be missed.

Though I never was fortunate enough to meet Joe personally we did have many conversations over the years pertaining to the POS industry and how it has evolved..I came into this business fresh out of college and from our 1st conversation 17 plus years ago there was always a level of trust between us. I quickly learned to respect his passion for this industry and listened closely as he spoke about the way things used to be! When it came to that time of the year for him to jump in his (tour bus) and travel the country I always tried to get him to swing in to lovely upstate New York and visit us but the cold might have kept him away. On behalf of Quality Retail Systems I would like thank Joe for his friendship as well as his business partnership over the years.. We respect him greatly and our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to have known Joe.
Sincerely,
Jason Eddy
