He was a great swim coach/ great man. Still think fondly of those summers I swam for him in the early 70s. My deep condolences to the family.

Dear Esther and family, we were saddened to hear of your loss. We always remember Joe’s wonderful smile. He made a big difference in our children learning to swim. He was a friend and work to John at ARL. We will pray for God to keep you close, especially during this difficult time. We send our love.

Oh Esther, Joe meant the world to me. Thank you for the honor of helping to take care of him. I wondered why he looked at me so funny once when I said I didn't know how to swim!!! Well now I know. I loved watching the love between you and Joe, how he would reach for your hand and just gaze into your eyes. Esther if you ever need anything I can help you with please don't hesitate to ask. I love you and God bless you and the family. I know Joe will be watching over all of you.

To Joe, Jen and family, Please accept my sincere condolences to your entire family in your heartbreaking loss. Sending prayers and love to you all. Denee (Sudano) Judy and family
