Mr.McNamara,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the U.S. Army Air Forces in Europe during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

My mom, Mary Scott went to Brighton High with your uncle. They hung out in Fla. and that is where we met. Joe enjoyed life and was fun to be around. He recently made the trip out to western MA to my mom's 85th. We are going to try to make it to the wake depending on how my mom feels.
