Dear Peg Flory and Family:

I just found out today about Joe's death. I am so sorry for your loss. I consider myself blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Joe at Rutland High School. He typified a 'gentle man'. His compassion was effortless and unbounded and his sense of humor was 'wicked'.

God bless you and your family.

We are all a little poorer today, and heaven a little richer.

Dear Peg Flory and Family,
It was a privilege to have watched the magical relationships that Joe created with his students. He continuously went above and beyond and inspired me to do the same. I will miss him everyday and strive to impact students lives in his shadow.

Dear Peg, I was deeply saddend to hear of Joe's passing. It was always fun bumping into him at Kamuds's or the "dump". You never knew what the subject was going to be but he was always ready to talk! My heart, prayers and love go out to you and your family
