My sincere sympathy to the surviving family. May His soul rest in peace. He was very admirable, professional and patient with all the many times I sat in his office in Maspeth. Thanks to you your wife and your staff for providing such a peaceful, happy, clean and professional work environment for so many of us. Just met Lenny at 15 Park Row who informed me of Mr. Friedman passing. RIP.

Many years have passed since I briefly worked with you and Joe in the design and remodeling of your amazing house. When I found out about Joe's passing I was shocked. I had my best memories of the short time I worked with both you and him. I'm so sorry for your loss Rachelle... It's hard to understand why such a nice human being like Joe left...Please receive all my deepest condolences.

I have worked at J&R from 1992 to 2012. Joe was a good person and never give me a hard time. He was a kind and generous man. Every Christmas he would give me $200 and tell me to buy something for myself and not to tell anyone because I use it get his car from the garage as a favor. I remember when I was leaving, he gave me a hug and gave me a pair of headphones and said I can come back to work for him anytime. I am very grateful to J&R and especially him. On behalf of myself and my family...
