I was so very sorry to hear about Mr.Joe. I went to Summerville High School and Mr.Joe would aways keep myself in classmates in line. I have told stories to my children about Mr.Joe. He will be greatly missed.

From one of the girls you always called "boy", it breaks my heart to hear of your passing. But I know that up in heaven, they have one special angel at the crosswalk of the pearly gates! Miss you Joe! Kristie Mylin (Kent) (Virginia Beach, VA)

It's hard to believe that we will not see Joe around school or pulling up in the parking lot with us each morning. Joe has been so loved in the community for years and years, not just as a coworker but as a friend. He always had a kind way and loved to have a good time, always picking or playing. I will miss you Joe...you were always able to bring a smile to my face.

"Cousin Joe" was my grandfather's good friend, but he was like part of the family. He always had that big smile on his face. I remember seeing him in the mornings before school, after school, at the High School Football games, and as my AUNT said below, he played "Santa" at our Family Christmas parties. What an amazing man with such loving spirit. He will be missed dearly!

Joe Bunch was a Summerville Institution, a beloved guardian of our children, and a happy, sweet, dear man. We will all miss him.

How many of us remember Mr Bunch at the crosswalk headed to Rollings or Summerville Elem. One of the reasons growing up in Summerville was a gift all that were so lucky should never take for granted. We are the fortunate ones. God bless Joe Bunch.

How sad I am to have received the call from my sister just an hour ago. My father always referred to him as "Cousin Joe Bunch" and that is exactly who he was to our family. I'll never forget running into him and Mr. DuBoise at Burger King the first (and of course only) time I skipped school in the 10th grade, and how much I looked forward to Christmas Eve when he arrived at our house as Santa! He was always a significant part of our family and my childhood. He will be greatly missed. I wished I could be there to pay my respects. You were the best Cousin Joe!

What a terrible loss of such a great man. I remember joe from when I was a child, living in summerville. I saw him 3-4 days a week, and he was constantly at Miler country club either socializing, or cooking for a crowd. Joe will be missed, but so thousands upon thousands of children were blessed to know and grow up with Joe.
