Susan
The first thing I asked when I went to the SEHS party last night was "How is Joe Park doing?". Michael L. said he had passed away right after Thanksgiving and services were held on Dec. 6th (my birthday). I'm so sorry I wasn't around. I was traveling at that time, took off the day after Thanksgiving and returned on the 7th. That's why I didn't even see anything in the papers. Otherwise, I would have shown up to add my support and love to you. May I call you soon? Let me know at [email protected] please. You're one of my favorite people!
With all condolences,
Doug

Dear Susan,
When I think of Joe now, I think of a quote by Maya Angelou: “.... people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Joe always made me feel loved. What a gift!

Dear Susan,

Amelia and I were sad to hear about Joe's passing and it was she who quickly asked if we could go to the memorial service at King's Chapel. The service was a wonderful tribute to a good neighbor, a good friend and a singular person. We look forward to seeing you soon and hope you do not hesitate to ask us for help.

Dear Susan,
I was so sorry to read in my online version of The Boston Globe that Joe has died. Bob and I are at our house here in Key West until Saturday evening so, unfortunately, we will be unable to attend the service at King's Chapel. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. Joe was such a nice guy and so much fun to talk with. Especially, I remember, scintillating conversations at The Beacon Hill Circle for Charity Christmas Parties in year's past. He will be missed by many.
With our fondest love and deepest sympathy,
Ruth and Bob Lamere
