To the Reynolds Family...
So sorry to hear on the passing of Joe.
My daughter Maureen informed me and reminded me
of a short story about Joe at the package store... Maureen
was about 8 years old when Joe would suddenly turn around
and would take his teeth out! The look on Maureen's face was always
the same. The wide eyed look of astonishment!!
My deepest condolences.

My sincere condolences to Ellen and the entire Reynolds family at this time of grief. I knew Joe well as a teenager and always enjoyed running into him over the years. I'm smiling now just thinking about him and all the humor he always brought. We all have lost a great friend and be assured he will never be forgotten. God speed my old friend it was a privilege to have know you.
