Joseph knew Christ was his Savior and he is now safe with him in Heaven.
Surviving are his parents; 6 siblings, Jacob, Jonathan, Danae, Joshua, David and Matthew; grandparents, Jerry and Alice Cornish of Ohio, Virginia Putnam of Otsego and Stan and Donna Putnam of Florida; aunts and uncles, Paul (Julie) Cornish of Ohio, Jacob (Jamaica) Cornish of Ohio, Ruth Nick of Henderson, Rhoda Mitalle and Jasmin Putnam both of Oregon and by his 8 cousins.
Friends may meet with Joseph’s family starting at 9:00 A.M. Monday, March 16, 2015 at the Orangeville Baptist Church, 6921 Marsh Rd, Plainwell, until the time of the Funeral Service at 10:00 A.M. with Pastor Dan Bowman officiating.
