Kathy and Family,

I am so sorry about Joe's passing and even more sorry I could not attend the services.

I will always have many fond memories of Joe. The thoughts and prayers of my family are with you.

I know Joe will be missed by many, as he was always one of those people that when they walked into a room the energy changed for the better.
