I was so sorry to hear of Joe’s passing. I wwill not be able to attend either visitation or funeral as I have classes that I teach. I will try to find a sub but that is hard to do. My thoughts and prayers are with Betty and all the family.

Dear Betty & family,
I just saw Joe’s obituary & was so surprised…I had no idea he had passed ( or, was at Heisinger West…I could have visited, as I am right next door).
He was such a warm, friendly guy, & I know Tom thought the world of him…I hope they are drinking coffee together again.
Love to you & yours,
