Dear Elaine and all of your children, Sid and I want to express our heartfelt sympathy to all of you. Joe was a good friend and a wonderful, loving person. He was there for everyone. He always had a nice smile and a kind word. We will remember him that way. We are sorry that we will not be able to visit since we are living in Baltimore temporarily for a year, but know that we will be thinking of you. Stay well. Love, Sid and Miriam
