To the family of Joe:
I am not a long time friend of Joe. We got to know each other at Fastrack and eating bagels togther at Noah's. In the short time I had to know Joe, I enjoyed his humor and outlook on life. Although he was very quiet, I could tell he was a true gentleman. My deepest sympathy goes out to all of you and I will miss him.
Sincerely,
Dr. Bill Sherman
