My thoughts and prayers are with your family through this difficult time. I was in Caleb's class and when Joe would pass by he would always have a smile on his face and stop and say Hi.
I know that no matter where you are, he will always be watching over you. I wish you strength and peace of mind.

My late husband, Warren and I thought Joe to be one of the smartest people ever. He also was concerned about sharing his love for education with others. I admire his values, along with those of Ruth's. What an amazing couple! I know Joe's memory "will be for a blessing." I am sorry I live in Seattle and can't be there for the celebration of his life this week. Love to Ruth. From Linda Wolf
