My sympathy goes to the Scanlon family during this time of loss of Joe. I worked with Joe at DKH for many years. He was a man of few words unless he was upset about something, and usually said what he had to say--whether you liked it or not. Sometimes getting him to laugh was a chore--but sometimes managed to get a chuckle out of him. Prayers are with this family and Rest in Peace Joe.

We are, all of us, molded and remolded by those who love us. And though that love may pass, we remain, none the less, their work. No love can ever cross the path of our destiny, without leaving some mark upon us forever.
May you find comfort in your fondest memories.
