Dear Matt,
The stories you've shared about your dad say what a great man he was as a family man and friend. I am sorry for your loss and your sadness. I know he will be deeply missed. His kindness to Meechie was a testament of his goodness and willingness to share himself with others.
Love, Tracey

We knew Joe and Eileen through their many visits to our Barn on Ridge Road in Holley, NY. It always made the day when they showed up to buy somethings that they "couldn't live without".
We really enjoyed Joe's jokes and his stories and how he told us how he would use everything he bought.
They were both wonderful people and they will be missed.
Sincerely,
Donna and Steven Brown
