To the Borkin Family: Please accept my sincere sympathy in your loss. I had the pleasure of calling on Joel when he was at D. Kurman & Company, Cavalla Tobacco Company, Core-Mark and Holiday Wholesale. He was a "tough" customer and one who was highly respected in his industry. I enjoyed our friendship and respected his every decision. Peace be with him and his family at this most difficult time. Mark Theisen, West Bend.
