Joseph was a friend of my now deceased (06/04/2015) husband Don Ruth here in California. I was just sent this 2011 obituary by a friend and was saddened to hear that he passed away so long ago. He had called me back in 2009/2010 to check in on Don, who at that time was in nursing home after suffering multiple strokes. He had been the person who had set up my home computer for us, and had also given us the gift of a black lab, Flirt who was our dear family dog for many years. Sending much...

I was so saddened to hear of your loss. I have always wondered how Joe was doing in California and heard he was doing very well - even crossing paths with Sally Field in his lifetime. What a great person Joe was. I'm an old East Sider and went to school with Joe and will always remember him ever so kindly. My deepest sympathy and great empathy. May God carry you all through this very difficult time.
