I was stunned to read of Joe's passing. I have only wonderful memories of Joe and Marlene...I send my sincerest condolences. I recall Ellen and Neal quite well. The Levin Family was dear to me personally. Something has been in my head for a long time and I was trying to find Marlene. So, I decided to look for Joe...

May the love of friends and family carry you through these sad times. I remember all the fun family times you included me in while growing up across the street from your family. I’ll never forget being Joe’s “blondie”
