Beth, Andrew, and Laura,
I am at a loss for words. I just recently learned of Joe's illness and was deeply saddened by his passing.
Beth, I will always remember Joe as a gentleman who accepted me as a new friend many years ago, and will always treasure that as an invaluable gift. I have been remembering so many of those great times we had together as friends and will keep them as wonderful memories.
You are all in my prayers.

Beth, Andrew and Laura and the extended family - we were quite saddened upon hearing of Joe's illness and passing. Please accept our heartfelt sympathy at this sad time. Joe was a co-worker and there was a lot to learn from him not only about taxes but other things in life and giving. I admired how he gave time to the Y by taking time from work.- Mukesh & Sue Patel, New Hope, PA

Beth, Andrew & Laura,
It's been over 30 years since I first met Joe at an AY seminar. We struck up an immediate friendship that lasted over the years. Joe was a friend and mentor who always had the answer when I called with an expat tax question. I always looked forward to playing in the Llanerch Member-Guest tournament and spending time with all of you as you opened up your house and your hearts to me. I can only imagine the loss you feel at this time. I'm sure he is in a better place at this time and his suffering is over, hopefully making planty of birdies. Memories are forever, and I know you have plenty of good ones. Joe was a good man and I feel very blessed to be counted amongst his friends.
