Dear Betty Marie, Karen and John and Families: We will miss Uncle Joe. What a legacy he leaves-a beautiful family that loved, treasured and respected him. He had such a gentle, unassuming way about him, just like our Dad Arnold. He also possessed such a great talent as an artist and unselfishly shared his work with us. May God Bless him and your family as you are on your journey of grief. Know that we will be praying for you and that we understand the significance of his role in your lives and thus the significance of your loss. Love, Kevin and Nancy
