Dear Pat & Family
Sorry we couldn't be in Mass. to help celebrate the life of our friend and golf buddy, Joe, but our thoughts and prayers are with you.
We had many good times golfing with Joe on Saturdays at Juniper Hills along with Marty, Les,& Gary .The memory I recall most is when we hit hole # 11 and 90% of the time Joe would hit it into the swamp and Marty would says: Joe are you using those Pinnacle Dowzers again?.
Joe would just respond in his usual saying on a miscue" Oh! Joe"
We will miss him as you will also.
