Dear Frank:

I'am very sorry to hear of the sad news about your father. I just want to say thank you for what your father and you did for me while I worked at St Andrews. As you know I presently own a public golf course and now a driving range, and to this day I still make reference to your family and try to follow the beliefs of what I learned. Again thank you, Sincerely

Ian Kunesch

Upon returning from a trip today, I learned of Joe's passing. During my years on the staff of the Chicago District Golf Association, I had the privilege of knowing and working with Joe. He was a constant role model for anyone in the golf business, and more importantly a role model as a Father. I serioulsy doubt there will ever be another like him.
