Ella and Joseph:
My deep sympathies to both of you. Joe was known to me through my extended family in the Moundsville area and his well earned reputation in the DC area. How very frequently small towns send their sons and daughters out into the larger world where their presence brings light, mercy, and kindness. Joe was typical of this.
You remain in my thoughts and prayers.
