Janis - sending you lots of love and comfort after getting your Christmas card with the very sad news. I hope you know how much Joe meant to me - a coach, a mentor, and more importantly, a friend. He taught me everything I needed to know to be successful in the environmental field. He was patient and fun. Joe will be truly missed!

Janis, So sorry to hear about Joe's passing. You both have been in my prayers since you told me. I'm sure the entire class of St. Mary's class of '62 is heartbroken. Stay strong dear lady.
