    Joe and family, I just heard of your passing. You were a good man and I’m thankful to have gotten to know you a little through Sue. I’ll never forget the day I was asked to speak about Sue on a UC Campus memorial, and you were there and hugged me in thanks for the tribute. It meant the world to me. Wishing for peace for the rest of the family.
