My regrets go out to the McEvoy family at this time of sorrow.

I met Joe some thirty years ago while at Pitney Bowes. There was always a lighter side of Joe as where nothing is as bad as it seems. He will be greatly missed by many. Again I offer my deepest condolences to the entire McEvoy family at this time.
