Dear Joe and Family,
My sincere condolences on your loss. Joe I remember back in 4th grade, you introduced me and my father to your Dad, at a Hamden sporting goods store. My father was impressed at someone my age acting so mature. He was impressed by you, and your father, for raising you so well.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
