JOSEPH H. WERTHEIM

I remember Joe as one of my best friends in high school. Loyal, accepting, true. This news saddens me deeply.

Elaine, I have no words. I always loved seeing him and talking with him. My heart is deeply saddened for your loss. Prayers for you and the family.

My Ben.....my dear Ben. I love you.

My deepest sympathies, Elaine. Thoughts are with you...

Elaine and Ben,

You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Elaine and Ben, Deb and I are deeply saddened and are having difficulty grasping your loss. I loved having Joe (and yourselves) as a neighbor and friend. We pray that Joe's legacy inspires others to step up as he so often did.

Elaine and Ben, So saddened to hear the news of Joe. He was a real stand-up guy-always helping and never complaining. I hope the wonderful memories in your hearts only grow stronger with time. You have our prayers. Anne & Chris Wildfire and guys

Dearest Elaine, Ben, David, Bob & Joan,

My heart is with you at this moment when Joe's memorial service is in progress. I am grieving for the loss of a dear man who was my "little brother" in many ways and shared my early days in Washington, DC (and at the time, Annandale, VA). Hard to accept that his physical presence is gone, but his beautiful spirit, smile, and legacy of love and service will live forever.

Elaine, please accept my deepest sympathy of your husband's passing. Please take care of yourself. Your friend and trainer Hollie Pajak

Dear Elaine and Ben,
Words cannot express how deeply sorry we are for your loss. A wonderful man will surely be missed by all. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
