Many years ago, I worked for John Wanamakers in King of Prussia. I met a handsome, funny man...Joseph Bickel. We spent a lot of special time together. Later,I moved back to NY and lost contact with Joe. This spring he kept coming into my thoughts. I decided to google him and this is what I found. I am deeply sadden to hear of his death.
Mike- I would love to speak to you.

Hello Mike,
I don't know you, but I wanted express my sadness over Joe's passing. Joe and I grew up in the same neighborhood and went to school together from first grade on. It has been over 10 years since I have seen Joe, and some reason he has been on my mind as of late. I live in WV, now and just happened to hear from someone back home of his passing. I am at a loss of words...He will be missed.

I was shocked to see Joes obituary in the paper. It has been many years since I've seen him, but I have so many fond memories of him. He was so handsome to start and his smile was beautiful!! I used to see him when he had his house by the cathedral and what good times we all had there!! He was always so giving and just a blast to hang out with. It breaks my heart he's no longer here, but we will surely see him again while he waits for us all in heaven to have many great times together again!! RIP Joe, we love you very much!!!
