Mrs. Teresa Sprague(nee, Martin)
Dear Teresa,
I have just received word from a friend in Florida
that your brother, Joe, passed away in Warwick
on September 25. While Joe and I went our separ-
ate ways in life as we all do, and I had not seen
Joe in many, many years, I will always remember
him as a good, fun-loving, friend during our high
school days together at Aldrich. I also remember
you as you were always pleasant and kind to me
when I visited Joe in your parent's home in Warwick
so many years ago.
In the hope that you will also remember me despite
the passage of all those years, I would like to ext-
end my sincere sympathy to you and to your entire
family during this very difficult time. Peace.

Ethel, Please accept my deepest sympathies. I was so glad that i was able to see Joe this past smmer when i came back to RI for a visit.
I worked with Joe for about 12 years up until he retired. I can honestly say that i have not worked with a better person than Joe. He will be missed.
