I met Joe through another good friend John Potter. Joe and John had dinner once a week. I met Joe there for the first time. After John passed Joe and I continued to talk on the phone frequently. Joe was a lovely man and our conversations were always delightful. We both loved chocolate and I sent him homemade fudge every Christmas from Denver. I send my condolences to Joe´s family. I will miss my friend, Joe.

As a longtime friend of his daughter, I have fond memories of Joe's outgoing and friendly nature, and his general enthusiasm for life. He always seemed a wonderful father. (And I remember that convertible! What a thrill as a grade-schooler to ride down Park Avenue with the top down!) My very deep condolences to the family. Joe will be missed!

Will truly miss my steadfast friend and the fun we had together over more than a decade of weekly luncheons. Joe was a loving and lovable man.
