We were shocked and saddened to hear of Joe's passing at such a young age. Joe was a very good friend of ours for a long time, and we will miss him very, very much. We will remember our trip to Michigan to pick blueberries, sitting around our kitchen table until midnight talking and laughing about old times, his sense of humor and wonderful friendship. Joe will be in our hearts forever and we will never forget him. We feel blessed to have had Joe as our close friend for over 50 years. Joe and Hedy Samborski, Westchester, IL
