Janet and Family,

Lisa told me about Joe. We are so sorry for your loss. We both wish we could have been there but we did not know. Joe was a great guy and he ran a great establishment. He was always good to me and to my wife the entire time she worked for him. Lisa always said that Joe was the best person she ever worked for, I know she loved him. Joe will be remembered and missed. The memories and stories will always bring smiles. We will both always be grateful to have been part of it all.

Dear Janet and Jill,

I ran in to John Maclean yesterday and he told me about Joe. I am so sorry I was not at the wake or funeral, I had no idea. Had I known, I would not have missed it for the world. I truly loved Joe and I loved working for him. My memories of my time at The Welles are and always will be very special to me. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless. Much Love, Lisa Chase
