I am sorry to hear of Mr. Offak's passing. I remember him, as a wonderfully kind man with an intense smile.

May God bless you and your entire family in this time of sorrow.

Deepest condolences to Maria, Heidi, Eric, Mike, and the family. We had known Joe for many decades as he and the Golden Keys played for our Bayernabend in Ottawa. For many years he and the band bunked at our house and we can attest to his winning smile, delightful personality and empathy with folks. Ruhe in Frieden. Sincerest sympathies to all.
