Rita, I am so sorry for your loss. Joe was not only my friend for 38 years but he was also one of my mentors at Segerdahl. Joe and Bill were the first Pressman I worked with back in 1979. He not only showed me how to work hard, he showed me how to be a man and to take care of your family which meant more to him than anything in the world. He will be sorely missed. God bless you and your family through this tough time in your lives.

Rita,

I was so sorry to hear of the loss of Joe. I considered him like an older brother. I will miss our talks in front of your house about the Chicago sports teams. I have fond memories of going to the Cub games with Joe. I'm glad that he was able to see his Cubbies win a World Series. Mary and I send our deepest condolences to you and your family.
