Ann and Logan my thoughts and prayers are with you guys at
this time. Having worked with Joe for the several years, I got to
know him well and the love he had for you guys was
mentioned to us every day ! Logan you truly was his pride and
joy and he was so proud of the man you are. I believe all of us
at the hotel past and present have all been touched by what a
great ,hardworking, and caring man Joe Sims was !
