Not sure what to say?

Dear Egan Family, I was just informed of Mr. Egan's passing and wish to send my condolences. I worked for Mr. Egan many years ago and he was a wonderful man and excellent boss. I will always be grateful to him for helping my husband obtain a great job through his recommendation. My husband and I have talked about "Joe's" help many times over the years...never forgetting his kindness. The fact that he never met my husband, but solely relied on my word of his ability along with his resume ~...

To Joe's family, Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your husband, father, grandfather and brother. I went all through St. Henry's school with Joe and may I say that he was always a wonderful guy. He always had a smile and good word to everyone and never, ever made anyone feel less that happy to be in his presence. Quite a few years ago, Joe attended a reunion of our class (1948) that I and some of our classmates organized at the old Shack on the Blvd. I will never forget...

To Joe's Family,
He was one of the nicest man I've known. I worked with him at PIDC in the mid 80's and used to see him at DVIRC when I worked there. He stopped in my office everytime he was there to say Hi to me and tell me stories of his family. He was sincere, hardworking, honest and compassionate. He was "good people" and he will be missed.
My heartfelt condolences to the family.

Dear Pat and your beloved family. My hearfelt condolences to you all. Joe was a dear friend to my late husband, Saul Volchok, and to me. A special man whose ability was surpassed by his compassion. He will be missed. May he rest in Peace and may his memory be for a blessing for all of you.

I was sorry to learn of the death of your brother Joe, a great son of Hunting Park. I loved what your daughter Kate said about him that he thought that the 4th of July parade was about him. Only someone who grew up in Hunting Park could appreciate that fully.

On behalf of all the Ferrys, I extend our heartfelt condolences to you and your family.

In 1964, you were a part of the Redevelopment Authority’s “Old Real Estate” crowd — people without college degrees who had been the backbone of many real estate offices throughout the City. Members of the old crowd were title clerks, conveyancers, deed specialists, appraisers and salesmen. They all knew each other.

You were not old but you did have several years experience with the Castor Avenue real estate office of Democratic City Committee Secretary John F....

Dear Joe,
It's been far too long, and of late I've been thinking of you and you family, then I read about your Dad's passing this morning. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. He was a brilliant man. I know he was your hero, and his sons his heroes.
My condolences to your Mom as well.
