Warren and I will never forget how Joe and Janet opened their house up to us for the Jewish holidays when we first moved to Great Neck and didn’t know many people. They were so welcoming and kind. We’ll never forget it. I’m going to miss running into you at The Jolly Fisherman! Joe you will be missed.

During our years at Fordham Law School, I roomed with Doug Spector, a good friend from our Union College days. On Tuesday evenings, Dr. Joe and Janet used to go into Manhattan for dinner and invariably stopped at Zabar's to put together a "care package" for their son and his cash-strapped roomie. Nothing beat their Zabar's care packages. The Spectors treated me like one of their own for decades and are forever in my heart.
