The two had been writing back and forth about which was hotter, temperature- wise -- California or Iraq. Joseph Graves, a 21-year-old who had lived in Discovery Bay since he was 10, wrote, "112 degrees sounds like a cold night here in Iraq." And then he told his dad to quit whining about the weather. It was the type of lighthearted banter that often found its way into these e-mail messages between father and son. Joseph ended it, as he often did, with "Talk to you later."

Discovery Bay is a small town, with a population of almost:17,000, and word travels fast. Friends from the Delta Presbyterian Community Church, the Graveses' longtime congregation; immediately offered to clean the house, to bring by meals and even wash the car. "I don't think it has hit me yet,” Kevin Giraves said. "It probably won't for a while." He has a lot to take care of; there are funeral arrangements to make,friends to call.The phone had not stopped ringing since the news came, and Graves said tat is probably a good thing. For now. On Wednesday morning, he drove to a small town near Grass Valley to tell Joseph's grandparents what had happened. e w sianyonly chi dr an i y j an chi d.- 'didn't want them hearing about it some other way, and I didn't want to vaxar.$r,jm,i'!;r' .in aava.(?1? v.aiMa'Y4'�d tell them on the pi,one. - When talking with others, Graves is composed and says he is genuinely touched by the outpouring he has received. But when he is alone and his mind wanders1 he remembers the little things. Like the way Joseph at 11 years old would jump onto his dad's bed on Saturday mornings. "His plan was to come into my room and surprise me," Graves said. But Joseph's small body would inevitably bump into a squeaky reclining chair near the stairway. "That gave him away. I'd always hear'hlim coming." Graves said his son had been more likela friend, a best buddy. They had inside jokes together, little sayings no one else knew. He said Joseph was talkative, but not overbearing or even super popular in school. He was, however, so involved in his church that when Pastor Larry Porter and his family moved to the area, it was Joseph Graves who helped them move their furniture into their new horse. "He was an amazingly solid young manl" said Porter. "Can you imagine?A teenager doing that so willingly? He was an older man in a youngster's body. He was kind and thoughtful, and he was the pride of his father's life." http://www.contracostatimes.com/mid/cetitne-,/email/nptrrc/t S 1 azzao '7M i jay hit by death in Iraq Page 2 of 2 When j'osep fsk�plar°ri3 s Tff fK iiiia, ififszda fe ts(fRoit��`primZknow`ng It,fwas7nota r h Phazard �ar�x. a a x1.�x"M .�a ,v:u. � �,..<. r- a„^ r ...
