Dear Frieda, Ed and Family,
I am so saddened to hear of Joe's passing. What an ICON on King Street. I always loved the aquarium in the store and all the friendly faces. It was like visiting Mispacha. Joe was ALWAYS kind courteous , professional and wonderful.
What a mensch. I started calling on Joe when I was 21 years old and that was 44 years ago. King Street was so unusual for my territory with all the Jewish store owners. May Joe's good deeds be a guiding light for the grandchildren to pass on to their children. My sincere condolences to the entire family.

Dear Sokol family, so sorry for your loss. This community will miss him and I know you are saddened by his death. He was a salesman's salesman and it was a joy trying to negotiate a deal him.

Mr. Sokol will be deeply missed. All the respect in the world for the whole family. I will be there for the family if needed. Love and prayers.

TO ALL OF THE SOKOL FAMILY I AM SORRY TO HEAR THAT MR.JOE IS GONE HE WAS MY BOSS FOR 30 YEARS MR. WAS A GOOD PERSON. JAMES MYERS
