Joseph "Joe" Bogtong was a beautiful person inside and out. I can remember all of the good times we had with Uncle Joe. Uncle Joe loved to spend time with his family and taught all of us how to have fun. He could walk into any room and the light he walked in with, was beautiful. Uncle Joe loved life and you can see it in every picture he ever took. This love of life will live through all of us, especially through our young generation and we can bring it to the next generation. We keep Joe in our hearts and minds, never goodbye, only see you later. I keep in my heart the love of the past, For there it was planted forever to last.
Wherever I go, whatever I do, Memories keep me near to you.
The Lord watch between thee and me, While we are absent one from the other.
You still live on in the hearts and minds, Of the loving family you left behind.
