Hi Uncle Joe - I was thinking about you today and finally uploaded a video your brother-in-law John Mac had made of the two of you playing Jax. It is so fun to see the energy and the silliness you passed on to us. I love you and I'm glad you are up in heaven with Aunt Viv and all those crazy Crisfield Girls! xoxoxo Love Jilly xoxoxo

I was so sadden by the loss of your Dad. We shared so many of the good times at Ossining High for so many years. So ironic that he and your Mom lived but a few miles from us but sadly one way gives way to another. I am sure that your fond memories of him will carry you and your family on through this sadness. He was a good man in all respects
