Not sure what to say?

The Best Man at my wedding in 1964...a true and trusted friend...

Gone, yet never forgotten...

Remembering Joe today...a great friend!

Rest In Peace Joe...

While I may have disagreed with some of his politics he was an outstanding teacher of the intro macroeconomics course I had with him in one of the river dorm classrooms. Very personable and engaging to say the least. Will be missed... Mike Sedlewicz RC 1976 GSM MBA 1995

Dear Ros and Matthew,
We met once long ago in West Chester at Bob and my home. I was sorry to hear about Joe's battle and passing from Ken Kutler. I was going to reach out to Joe to let him know of Bob's passing this week.I was saddened as Ken was at learning of your loss. I know Bob always enjoyed the Phillies analysis and other conversations he and Joe would email about. Bob would often talk about their Bywood playground day. Ironically Bob had his fall that started his spiral on...

To the Seneca Family...Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. Joe and I were boyhood friends (Bywood/Upper Darby). We spent many fun times together playing softball, basketball and tennis. In 1964, Joe served as best man in my marriage to Katherine Butler (Johnstown, NY). Although we lost touch over the years, I still look back on our relationship remembering many fond memories...Ken Kutler

Dear Ros,
Although our paths have not crossed since we were graduate students at Penn more than fifty years ago, I was saddened to read in the latest Pennsylvania Gazette about Joe's death and would like to send you and Matthew my sincerest condolences.
I am glad to know that you are settled close to your son. Family is so important at times like these.
Kindest regards,
John
