Our heartfelt sympathies to Jan, Sue, Jill and family. Joe and Jan were the first couple to welcome us and invite us when we moved here from Chicago as part of the Oak relocation. They had moved here only months before in 1983. It was easy to remain friends ever since as having the same employer quickly grew to having many of the same common interests, Midwest values, raising children, exploring new surroundings, changing jobs and growing older. We've seen firsthand over many years how Joe and Jan's love and faith has remained strong despite the way Parkinson's tested them both. A remarkable couple who showed everyone how to care for family and how we should live and love. May Joe's memory be for a blessing. Love, --Linda and Dale Tartakoff
