I wanted to express our condolences to you and your family.

Dear Richard,

I read your mom´s obituary today. What an amazing woman! May her memory be a blessing.

Dear Richard, I am sorry to hear about the passing of your beloved mother, Joan. She must have been so happy to have a family with many children, grandchildren and also great grandchildren.
In 1976 I visited Miami where I met your parents and later worked for the Getz family from 1979-1981 at Mayor's Jewelers. This chance given to me was one of the best experiences I had and led me
to new paths in my career. I gained a lot of knowledge but also a lifelong friend, you, Richard. My thoughts are with you and your family. Harald Bertsch

I am so very sorry to learn of Mrs. Getz´s passing. I was best friends with her son Richard for years as a child and teen and close to the whole family. She always was extremely kind, generous and welcoming to me. Despite their considerable success in business, Mr and Mrs Getz were among the most down-to-earth people I knew. I always greatly admired their approach to life. Fond memories of a life well lived. We should all be so lucky. My condolences to Richard, Neil, Beth and Sam.

To Richard and the entire Getz family our heartfelt sympathy to all of you. Your Mom was fantastic and that ride when your Dad and Mom picked us up for the twins Saturday event we will never forget. Always remember in your time of loss, you always did your best and your Mom cherished every moment with you. She was a class act, very funny and sharp as a tack. We are sorry for your loss, she will forever be a part of those who were so fortunate to know her. Bill and Cheryl.

My first thought when I heard that Joan was no longer with us was how she chaired the Temple Israel "Silver Project" some 35 years ago. With her professional and upbeat style, Joan transformed the Rabbi Morris Graff Museum into a sparkling centerpiece in our old lobby area! She was a general who walked the walk!!! To Sam and Ann, Michael & I send our deepest condolences!
