Frances,

I started working with Joe at Travelers when I was just 17 years old right out of high school and again at the Crane Agency. Have known him for 47 years. What a wonderful person! Joe was a good co-worker, boss and friend. Please know he will always be remembered.

Dear Francis & family:

Words can never make up for the loss you are feeling. I will sorely miss the times I had hunting and shooting skeet with Joe, and all the good laughs we had together over some of his duck hunting stories. You are in my prayers.

Dear Brock family, I am so sorry for your loss. I have so many wonderful childhood memories with your family and think of you often. My 2 girls hear Brock stories about spending time at the farm, sleeping on homemade featherbeds and pillows and waking to the cows mooing, getting shocked with the electric fence and the giant organ, singing Barry Manilow songs in the back of your station wagon, fishing and hunting, your Dad's famous barbequed duck, eating dry jello with our red stained fingers, sneaking into Joe's room to play Pong, and completely disassembling your bedroom to put on our rock concerts of anything from the Carpenter's Christmas album to Sesame Street's C is For Cookie. I think of you everytime I see a Monet painting or just make a cream cheese and mushroom omelet- yum , and of course i think of your Dad when i smell pipe tobacco or hear a duck call. You have a wonderful family and you shaped my childhood, I am thankful to you and you are in my prayers,
