My wife and I : Rev Alex Arrington Jr & Mrs Vivian White- Arrington wish to express our sincere condolences to the Blumer family regarding this senseless tragedy. We regularly cashed our checks at his store for years and we always looked forward to his kind smile and personal assistance. We both miss Joe dearly and are simply speechless... We are praying for the entire family and expect God's ability to comfort us all at a time like this; to keep us in his perfect peace until we see Joe again in heaven.

To all my family,
Though this week has been one of the hardest, if not the hardest of our lives, I believe that our family will get through this. We can overcome anything as long as we do it together. Buppie, Aunt Barb,
Uncle Jay, Aunt Stacie, Mom,
Uncle Jeff, my brothers, my
cousins, and of course Britt and Jared;I love you all so
much and we will rise above this, if only to make Uncle Joel
proud of all of us as he always was.

Dear Barb, Brittany, and Jared:
Laurie and I were shocked and deeply saddened to hear about Joel's tragic passing. Words cannot express all of the emotions that you all must be going through. I have gotten to know Joel over the past 20 plus years not only as his physician, but as a friend and confidant. I have spent many hours over the years getting to know him and know that first and foremost, he loved his wife and his children, more than anything else in this world. We will miss him very much. Our hearts and deepest sympathies go out to you at this very difficult time. Rest in peace Joel.
Love, Laurie and Craig Feinman
