Joe and Elaine,
Angie told me of your Dad's passing. She was so impressed with his life so I looked up his obituary. I can see why She was an Admirer. Apples don't fall far from the tree. What a good man he was and how proud you must be of his life. A real tribute to the Republican party. He and Regan must be having a real party in heaven. May your memories comfort you. Sincerely, Sue

Cam and Susan,

I was so saddened to hear of Joe's passing. I have thought of Joe and your family so much over the years and had tried to contact you over the past year. Please know that you are in my prayers and heart. Joe was an amazing person and had a heart as big as gold. My family is in Brazil right now or I would be there.

Please take care.
