I would like to express my sincere sympathy to Joe's family. Joe and Lynn were very good friends of ours when we lived in Townsend 12 years ago. Although I am unable to attend Joe's memorial service, I remember Joe with much love. We helped each other out a lot, and he especially loved my husband who passed away 12 years ago. I feel good knowing that they can remain friends in heaven and are now reunited. Mark, you were a young boy when I left Townsend, but feel blessed knowing that no father could have loved or wanted a child more than Joe wanted and loved you. Lynn, you are one of the kindest and most loving women I know, and although we don't talk much, please know that you are in my prayers.

To Mark, and Lynn:
Although I had only known Joe for a short period of time, he was a great man and a great father. He knew more about Boston sports than anyone I have ever met. He will be forever missed. You are in the thoughts and prayers here at the Nash household and our doors are always open if you need anything.

Joe,
I really enjoyed your company for 9 years at Candela. You had a great sense of humor, impressive writing style, and could detail sports facts like nobody I knew! You always spoke so highly of Mark and Lynn. I'll miss your friendship. Take care buddy!
