You were my teacher and my friend. May the angels whom you meet on the other side of the veil let you pass in peace.

It's been so long ago that I last saw Joey. Bridgeport, 1969. We grew up together in the same neighborhood group. He sure did enjoy his 1965 Ford Mustang! My condolences.

Dear Joey, my memories go back to the holidays and other moments we shared together; Mykonos, Chicago, Hawaii, Culemborg... we didn't have much other contact beside that, a christmas card, a phone call once in a while, but in our hearts we knew that we were always there for each other...
I'll miss you my friend and I hope you will say a prayer for me in heaven and that you will give Russ the strenght to go on and, as he said himself, some luck so he can win a jackpot at the Casino!
Love you,

My sorrow for your loss is extended. The last time I saw Joe was at our HS graduation. His warmth of personality must have been a comfort for you and a treasure for others in the intervening years. Please whisper a hello to an old friend as you bring him into view. tom kouremetis
