David and Donald. So sorry to hear of the passing of our "Uncle Joe". Both of your parents were part of the fabric of my life for the formative years. Your father was extremely influential as our scout leader. My mother often remarked how helpful our " Aunt Betty" was to her as a young bride. I still remember your mother spending the night at the hospital when I was there for surgery as a four year old. They both made the world a better place.
