My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. I had not been in touch with Joe over the years, but I have wonderful memories of him from our years together in elementary school and continuing through HS.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
