In reality Joe we had known you only for a short time. It seems though that we had known you forever as we came to know you for your strength and resilience in the face of your illness and your recovery. Hearing of your passing has left us feeling sad and distraught at not being able to continue to be part of your life and develop our friendship as we had planned. We will remember you always with love and fondness. Rip Joe you will be in our thoughts every day.
