Dear Jeanne,
We happened to run into Lou R. yesterday and he told us that he found out that Joe had passed away last year. We were shocked and want you to know that if we had known, we would have certainly been at the wake. We have always remembered you and Joe, even after all these years. I can still remember his hearty laugh! We are so sorry for your loss and hope you are adjusting to life without Joe. Please know that you are in our thoughts.

together many years together at Ma Com. I want to send my condolences and to let you know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Take care and God Bless.

Director, you will be missed by everyone you've ever crossed paths with. You knew how to laugh at every uncomfortable situation and encouraged everyone around you to do the same. You're a fearless leader and a prime example of living every day like it's your last. Rest in peace “Joey No Good” and thoughts and prayers to all your family and friends.
