Amy and Family,
I'm very sorry about Joe. I've known Joe for over 30 years, we were teammates in Babe Ruth, American Legion, and Latin Academy baseball. I also worked with Joe at C6, he was a great guy who will be sorely missed.

I worked with Joe at BPD. He was a true gentleman and a great Officer. He treated people kindly. You could always count on him to break the tension with a joke. And that laugh...I am so sorry for your pain. I remember him talking about you, Amy. You were the love of his life. God Bless.
