Our Deepest Sympathy to Helen and family. This is so many years ago, but I remember when he and Nick play racquetball together when we came into town.

My deepest sympathy to the family, to his wife Helen and to his children. May he forever rest in peace. I will never forget his voice and how much he did for the church. He was a very special person.

My condolences to the Kokolus family.
I have known Joe and the Kokolus family for 70 years and our friendship endured even though we lived in different states many miles apart.
Great memories of him are everlasting with me.
With love,
Simon
