Joe was a good friend to us, strong supporter of Johns Hopkins Radiology and source of wise counsel. His disposition was like the 'gyr-a-sol' flower... always facing the sun.
Oh...will he be missed!

We never got to see Jane and Joe many times here in Bay Colony. Their visits
were few and far between over the years.
Whenever the opportunity did arise, it was nice to play "catch up" and keep up to date with happenings.
Rest in peace Joe. You are now with
Our Lord.

Dr. Gitlin always had tremendous intellectual curiosity that I respected and admired. I will always remember my lunches with him and Jim Langan, reminiscing about Dr. John Dorst and "the old days" with cheerful good humor.

Dr. Gitlin cheerfully greeted me to provide a pleasant start to our encounters. He had a fine sense of humor. I miss his friendly conversations.

I will miss Dr. Gitlin for many reasons but mostly because he always took the time to inquire about you and how you were doing. I will also miss our ongoing pursuit of the best limerick. Be at peace, Dr. G.

Dr. Joe was a Huge personality! You had to take the good with the 'not so good'. He was there for my Sister and her daughters as a touchstone at every turn. He really has now been released to the "Great conversation in the Sky!". Good for you Joe, now we can relax, all the way around and it truly is (Respectfully) over. Rest well. Love you Jane.

I will miss him very much our conversations, his wit, and his correction of my English. I will especially miss my weekly well-fare checks when he instructed me to send the check to his house. He left a wonderful legacy of children that I had the opportunity to meet and they are some of the finest people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. To Jane I offer my sincere condolences.
