Dear Judy,
I was sorry to hear of the passing of Stover (Joe) today by way of our WHS'49 grapevine. I well remember him from our Washington School neighborhood and as a fellow classmate of the Winchester High School graduating class of 1949. I also clearly remember watching you both as you drove away after our last reunion in Burlington. I have memories of the entire Mawn family.
My deepest sympathy to you and your immediate family.

Joe Donnell was a fine gentleman, a great shipmate and a superb naval officer. He was always kind and helpful to those of us coming up behind him, making time for us in his schedule. He will be greatly missed.
My sincere condolences to Judy and his family.
