George H. (Joe) Lillis (1952-2017), husband of Susan Long Lillis On Sunday, 26 Nov 2017, Susan Long Lillis wrote, "For three years in a row now I've have to say goodbye. This morning around 2 a.m. my husband and best friend, Joe Lillis decided it was time to go check for code violations in heaven. Our life together of 8 years couldn't have been more complete. Even though he had promised me twenty he said he was tired and probably wasn't going to be able to keep that promise. I told him I understood and would love him forever. I know he is not suffering anymore and is at peace but it is so hard to say goodbye. I'll miss you Joe and love you always."--Susan Long Lillis (Susan and her sister Cindi Alexander lost their mother Pat Hare in 2015, and their sister Cathy Akin last year.) George H.
