Dear Bill, Wendie, Christine, Liz and spouses: What a treasure your dad was. I was so blessed to meet him and share that short time with him. I will always wish I had known him better and been able to spend more time. May God bless and comfort you in the coming days and may the angels greet him and lead him to paradise. May he be met by his Lord and his loving wife.

Chris, Liz, and Bill, your family has always had a steadfast presence in my life, and your father will always hold a special place in my heart. I will always remember him for his wit and wisdom, for his clever and creative intellect, but most of all, for the many, many years of friendship and love that he has given my family. When I close my eyes I can see Joe and Barbara reunited in heaven, and my tears of loss become tears of solace. God bless you all.
