Dear Nora Family,
We will all miss Joe so much. We are sad to be out of town and not able to be with you at your time of extreme loss. Joe was not only our doctor but our best friend. The love and caring he gave not only to the Perkaus family but to so many is testament to his great love of others. The legacy he leaves through his family is proof of his and Dorothea's love for each other.
With great sadness we send our love to all of you,
Bob, Barbara and family
