Dear Phyllis and family,

Heaven certainly gained a great guy when it welcomed in Joe Dunn. I'm going to miss so many things, among them are our animated conversations about the stock and bond markets but most of all his loving references to his family and how much they meant to him.
Not too many people have a twinkle in their eye and in their voice as well. I will miss this gentle family man and proud Marine.

Wishing you well during this heartbreaking time.

Mr. Dunn,
Sir, as a fellow Marine I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the USMC in the Pacific during WW II. It was the history and accomplishments made by you and your fellow Marines back then that all of us Marines who followed in your footsteps have always tried to live up to. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Semper Fi Devil Dog!
