Read MoreI will always remember the good times, and how Joe was always so warm and welcoming. We both agreed that we really got to know each other one summer at a dinner party in Wash D.C.
We enjoyed a very funny and witty exchange. Joe was a very special man.

Joe,
You taught us to read the waters and the course of the rivers, and by that virtue, the parallel course of our lives.
To recognize the joy of anticipation, to plan for what lies ahead, and to allow for contingencies. When to stop and consider the future, when to be cautious when to be bold, and when to just relax, listening to the rippling music and embrace the pure joy of the long calm stretches before the inevitable turbulence that enters each of our lives.
Joe,...
