My sincerest condolences Hawley Family. The death of a loved one is extremely painful. It’s unfair and takes away the people we love the most. Please know that during such a difficult time, you are not alone. Our father and God Jehovah is with you and your family. Psalm 34:18 says “[He] is close to the broken-hearted.” Know that he yearns to bring them back to life (Job 14:15). And soon he will bring a resurrection, John 5:28,29 says “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” May this promise give you hope and endurance to face the future with confidence.

Aloha Joe Memorial Event May 31, 2023 at Kirby Cove.

Joe Hawley's ashes (baked into 3 loaves of sourdough bread) were released into the Potato Patch on an outgoing tide, per his last wishes. He was sent off towards Hawaii accompanied by flower leis and Vietnamese rice paper wrappers painted with watercolor images and messages.

The loaves also contained a small amount of salmon smear and unfired clay as ballast. When they began to dissolve, a plume of ashes was released into the waves and the birds began to arrive...

The bread theme was inspired by a dream Joe had in 2021, where he and a small crowd were all gathered under the GG Bridge, casting out clay coated loaves of sourdough stuffed with (his own ashes and) a smoked salmon smear to feed the crabs and fishes.

Lorraine and I just learned about Joe’s passing and want to express our Condolences to Jorin.

I have a flood of memories of a friendship with Joe that began when I was a gardener at SFSU and I worked around the Art Department. Being able to take classes, I immediately started with Ceramics and Joe was a great inspiration cultivating a part of me I was unaware of.

He was a very special man.
