Papa,

Thank you for all of your impressive accomplishments. My life, and those of so many others, are extraordinary as a result of this. This is evident by the outpouring of sentiment our family has received throughout the past week. We will always miss you but never forget all of the wonderful memories we shared.

Throughout his distinguished presidency at Bentley, I thoroughly enjoyed my close association with Joe. From day-one, he immersed himself in every aspect of the university, quickly earning the respect and admiration of students, faculty and staff. It was a great joy to know this dedicated educator and friend.
