I remember making a trip to Penn State to when Joe was continuing his education there and ( if I remember correctly ) Pat was just beginning her first pregnancy ( Laurie ). We had a wonderful time, l was only about eight or ten years old. Pat and Joe were really special friends.

So sorry for your loss, especially Lori, Scott, and Cindy. I have known you since birth and loved your parents since I was about ten years old. I wish I could have spent more time with Joe since my retirement but I moved away instead. Just know that you are all in my prayers. Love, Larry and Janet Duncan.
