Dear Zeman Family,
We are just devastated at the loss of Joe. This is too much a shock for the neighborhood, community, anyone who ever met or knew Joe. He was one of those people who put a smile on your face with his kindness, concern for you and your family, his easy going nature. Though cut too short, it was an honor to have known him! It makes Debbie and I sick that we are out of state this weekend for my mothers memorial and can't be with you! Please know that if there is anything we can do for you we will do it. We are praying for you and are with you in spirit at this unbelievable tragedy.
Sincerely, Dave Drews and family
