I had the pleasure of meeting Joe while I was working at a spa he frequented. It was after many very nice conversations that we realized that I worked with Nancy many years ago.
He was such a kind and gentle man who I am happy I had the pleasure to meet. My deepest condolences to all his family.

Mr. Cipriano,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the U.S. Army in Europe during the Cold War. Millions of Americans slept safe at night because you and your fellow Servicemen stood ready to defend our Country. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

September 25, 2019

My Deepest Sympathy , although I have not seen him for a
long time I will always remember the kindness and generosity of him and your Late Mother.
Sincerely John Houghton
