Linda, Debbie and Jamie:
As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

"Uncle" Joe, even though I am not blood related, I have always called you Uncle.
Our families were very close when my father worked with you at Grand Central in the mid 50's in Tucson. I enjoyed remembering the "old" days with you at your shop and looking at our families photos. May you be at peace my friend.
