Will always love you Joan -Ellen Galeski

She was a good friend, for years, and a very proud Mother, to her beautiful Son, Michael Kors!

Joan. I miss you everyday. I enjoyed our glasses of wine together talking about cats, chickens and goats. I wish I could have visited more after moving away. I hope that girls snuggled you until you decided to leave this world. I love you.

We were Classmates at Weldon E Howitt High School in 1953. There was a Sadie Hawnkins Dance were the girls asked the boys for a date and Joan picked me. This surprised my friends because she was so popular and was taller than me. I often tell the story about Joan and the dance and why I bought my first pair of low cut boots with high heels wich I still wear today! I tried to connect with Joan thgrough the "Classmates App" but we never did. Till we meet again! Fred DeFelice Palm...

Remembering Joan and her sweet spirit............... I was a year ahead in Farmingdale H.S. (Weldon E. Howitt H.S.). A few os us worked as models...and Joan used to ask advice>>>>>>>>>> Loved her kitties and the FASHION WORLD she and Michael shared.

My condolences to Michael Kors.....I am so sorry to hear about Joan Kor's Passing. She was my dearest detests wife's best friend. My wife moved from the Bronx to Farmingdale the same year Joan moved from Brooklyn to Farmingdale. They became BEST friends. They would redo every broadway play that was coming out in their Era in another friends basement. When my wife "Rosemary Farrell" (Cookie) passed, I said to Joan "Why do I think I was married to the best woman on the planet". Joan Said,...

Joan was a friend when we lived on Sea Gate, Brooklyn, NY. After sixth grade, she moved to Long Island. I visited her once at her home there. I remember her brother Jimmy, but he would not remember me. I remember both of her parents. I tried to find her several years ago, to no avail. I am so sorry to hear of her death. My condolences to her son, Michael, and her brother Jimmy. Linda Goldstein Johnson, Carmel, NY
