I would like to extend my condolences to Joe's surviving family. My husband Dan and your dad spent a great deal of time with eachother before we were married and we continued our friendship with him and your mother after we were married. Dan died eight and a half years ago an he visited with me and the family to express his sorrow. I moved to Tampa, Florida last year and you can be sure I would have paid my respects to you all had I still resided in West Hartford. He was a loyal and caring friend and I know he will be missed by all who knew him.

With sincerest sympathy,
Estelle Cherlin
