I extend my deepest sympathy on the loss of your Dad.

My family joins me in extending our sympathies to Joe's family. We have memories of picnics, outings, and fun times together. Joe was a good friend to Russ when they worked together many years ago. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

My prayers and condolences to the entire family, Joe was a strong and giving person, he was so good to me, and my brother and sisters when we were kids. You are all in my prayers.
