Joe, it doesn't seem possible that you've been gone for five years. We still miss you. More importantly than being an excellent CPA, you brought joy, always brightening a room. You remain in our hearts and prayers.

To my dearest special lifelong friend who knew how to always make me feel happy. I will truly miss our chats online and FB. long distance over the phone and through the mail on behalf of our families. I know you will hold Heaven totally accountable and keep all our loved ones in order up there meanwhile singing with the angels chorus. Please give my Mom and Daddy and our little Shira angel wing hugs for surely you are with the angels. May your soul be bound up in the bonds of eternity and may you always be a blessing as you were to all of us. Rest on the pillows of God, Joe. Until we all reunite together......RIP eternally.

To my dearest male friend. We ate lunch together for nearly 30 years. We doubled with our dear spouse's until my Bob passed away. We had so many laughs. Remember the button I sewed on your shirt, the time you did a tuck and roll on Skokie Blvd., and my favorite, you washed in the small Japanese sink in the ladies room when we were hosting our LLG convention. RIP my dear friend.
