"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"

My thoughts and prayers for your family. I worked with Joe at Enserch many years ago. He was a great Geologist and friend.
Joe became my mentor by default when I started with Enserch in 1980. We spent many a day together sitting on wells in Hardeman County, Texas when there was no such thing as the internet, fax machines or cell phones. Although Joe was a great teacher of wellsite geology, he probably taught me more about the card game euchre than drill breaks and oil shows. I received his hand me down, well used 1975 white ford torino company car shortly after I started and drove it while sitting on a telephone book until the day the transmission fell out on Greenville avenue. Those were good days; ones that I will always look back on fondly.
Many people may not know that Joe was one of the first advocates of horizontal drilling, long before the Barnett or Austin Chalk made it commonplace. He was always a step ahead it seemed.
I hope everyone who knew him remembers how much he loved geology and the oil business. I will surely miss him.
I worked with Joe so many years ago and he was always a faithful and dear friend. He will be missed.
