I first met Joan in Budapest when she was accompanying Sam on a business trip for Lincoln. I had just started with Lincoln International at that time, early nineties.
Joan stroke me directly as a very nice and caring person. We gave had several encounters after that in Cleveland and I always felt warm welcome. I exepienced that she and Sam passed on that kindness to their children since I got together with some of them for fun occasions!
Sad to hear she passed away but due to het being religious, she must be in good hands and I hope her children find comfort in that.
I will always renember Joan and Sam as. I am always reminded, be it when I drink a Sam Adams which I always referred to as Sam Evens or when I hear the famous words of Sam’ roommate Neil Armstrong which is now used in commercials overhere.
All in all I keep remembering Joan by the same token
Wishing all of you the very best and the strength to cope with this loss

Mary Beth and Sidney. My deepest condolences to you and your extended family. I will remember Joan as a prayerful and loving woman, and a true example of Christian womanhood. We did not see each other often but she always made me feel grateful to be included in her circle of friends. I know your memories of your mother and grandmother will keep her alive in your hearts. God bless you both.
