Dear Joe and Family -- I am very sorry and deeply saddened by the loss of your dear father. Having recently lost my own father, I am well aware of the tremendous void it creates in our lives. Please know you are being held close in thought and prayer during this painfully difficult time. Heartfelt condolences and many hugs for all.
