Dear Carolyn and entire family, I wish to express my heartfelt condolences for the sudden passing of your beloved Joe. May you find comfort in God for he is our strength and refuge in times of distress. You are in my thoughts.

Very sorry to hear of Joe's passing. We were best of friends growing up - we were the only two boys of the same age on the block. We still have a number of 8mm movies of the kids on the block playing together in the early 1950s. I went to a different high school and moved out of state after college and we lost touch. I have very many fond memories of playing on Maplewood Avenue. Godspeed. Joe Maloney
