I want to exspess my deepest condolences to The Joseph R. Clarkson family and friends 🧡 I've had the privilege of meeting Joseph a few times . Over the years I know he has touched many and help his continuous Soberity to share his Hope. Will be missed. But cherish those special moments he shared with everyone. Known to myself and so many others as "Stratchy" His pain and suffering is no more . "For it is you who light my lamp ;the Lord my God lightens my darkness." Psalm 18:28
My fondest memory of Joe is the love, guidance, and encouragement he gave so freely. He believed in people when they struggled to believe in themselves and reminded us that recovery was possible one day at a time. His kindness, wisdom, and unwavering support touched so many lives, including mine. I will forever be grateful for the impact he had on my journey. 💙
Joe was always very kind to me. I'll miss him.
Scratchy pulling up to the movie theater when a group of us went to see the Hateful Eight… and he was bumpin heavy to Montel Jordan “This is how we do it” by himself in the car.
