Helen and the Bishoff Family,

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy on Joe's passing. May you find peace in all your wonderful memories of him. I had the distinct honor of knowing Joe. He was a good man and one who served his country with great distinction in World War II as a U.S. Navy Higgins boat operator landing U.S. Marines on Japanese-held islands in the Pacific campaign. It was men like Joe would put their life on the line many times to preserve our freedom and way of life.

God bless you, Joe.
