Patti, we were so sorry to read of your husband's passing. Haven't seen you in awhile, but I worked with you at IBM. Did get together for breakfast at Friendly's occasionally. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Pat,
So sorry for your loss. Joe told me he enjoyed seeing my dogs on my walks and it made his day a little brighter, but Joe made my day a little bit brighter. I will miss seeing him at the end of your driveway. He was such a nice man and he will be missed.

Joe will be missed. My memories of him make me smile and hear him saying, after I've asked how he was , "Just wonderful, but I lie a lot". So many memories of such a warm and loving man will sustain us all. Julie Morris
