Joseph Louis Sommers

Never easy to say good bye to someone we love so very dearly, no matter how much time we are given. Cosette, and your family, I am so very sorry about this huge loss in your lives. My thoughts are with you.

I recall Joe in my courtroom. He was a warrior for his clients. He truly believed in the importance of protecting individual rights. And he always expressed his devotion to his family and the church. Truly a man of high morals. He will be missed. Julie Genovese Dane County Circuit Court Judge

Joan and family so sorry for your loss. Cherish those wonderful memories and he will always be in your heart.

I played a lot of fastpitch softball against Joe, and needless to say it was always a battle to the finish; but hands were always shaken at the end of the game. And then I was lucky to play with and against son Jack the last couple years as well. My deepest sympathies to you Jack and to your entire family. Charlie Zwettler

Cosette. Be sad laughingly. Be strong gently. Be yourself with tear filled eyes.Your dad will always be your dad. Wrap your heart around memory. He will never leave you. Boss
