Last night I was thinking about Joe and how much I miss him. To think it's been 3 years...

I miss Joe. I often think about him and his family. I miss his annual Christmas letter. I don't know whether anyone has taken up the tradition, but if so, I'd like to be included. I've known the family since the mid-'80s, and I care about them. The only person I know anything about is Chris, because one of is practices is within walking distance of my house.
Two years. I miss calling and hearing his voice. I miss the breakfast meetings.
A good man is hard to find. His soul is in heaven.

Joe was my mentor at JCP starting in NY. He was also a dear friend and the kindest man I ever met. I admired his absence of malice in a corporate world, a sign of an incorruptible soul. He has earned his reward for he truly was a just man. I shall miss him.
Our condolences to Sandy, Joe, Chris. Mark, Julia and the grandchildren.
