Joe and Joan were both dear to me. I met them through Capt Jimmie Albright in Islamorada. We share many great dinners together over the years. Joe was very helpful to me this year after the passing of our mutual friend Gary Weber. We talked often. I only just found out about losing him. I left a message also on the Holmdel web site. I wish you all my best and I will miss my talks with Joe this year and the many years of friendship from both your parents.
