Aunt Jimmy, Jan, James, and John,
So sorry to hear about Uncle Joe. I have very fond memories of Joe and many Christmases and special occasions with all of you. I'm sorry I missed the services and seeing all of you but did not find out until last night. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Hopefully we can all get together soon under happier circumstances.
Love, Cousin Joanie

To The Lesniak Family,
I was very saddened to hear of your loss. Uncle Joe was a wonderful man. I was just thinking about him and a day later I read of your loss. I worked for Uncle Joe in the early 1990's when he owned Colonial Chevrolet. He was one of the sweetest, kindest people I ever knew. I had a hard time calling him Uncle Joe at first so when I would page him overhead, I would always say Mr. Lesniak. And it would never fail, he would call me right back and say, my name...

Dear Jan, James, and John,
I was so sad to hear that Uncle Joe passed away. I was not aware that he had been so sick. I always looked up to him and have fond memories of both your Dad and your Mom. Wish I could have been with the family during this time, but I am getting married this weekend. A special pray will go out to your Mom, you, and all the grandkid. I know you will miss him very much.
Your cousin, Joyce
