Not sure what to say?

I worked with Joe at Nikon and always enjoyed a chance to stop and chat about both work-related and general discussions about the world around us. We shared a somewhat "snarky" attitude and even today it brings a (now wistful) smile to my face to remember him.

I met Joe in Austin in the 1960's when I was a young teenager and he was best friend to my brother, Tom, at UT. I was lucky enough to eventually call him my brother-in-law. In the 60s he looked kind of like Paul McCartney. In those days my best memories of him are his engaging me in intellegent conversation, showing me his research lab and computer lab that involved punch cards and giant reels of tape! I was there when he and my siblings were on our Grandma's old place in a VW bug where the...

My condolenses to Amy, Liz and all the family and friends that had the wonderful experience of knowing Joe. I don't think I ever heard a negative word coming from his mouth which was always framed with a smile. What will I remember about Joe?... His all embracing and warm hug.

Although I didn't know Joe well, I felt a closeness to him through the relationship that Joe's mother, Adele, shared with my parents, Jeline Allen Pegram (Adele's first cousin) and Milton Pegram.

Love you,
Kathy and Bob
