To the Sloan Family:
Even though I had not seen Joe in more than twenty years, I was brought to tears when I learned of Joe's passing this week. I have fond memories of playing sports with Joe and spending time at the family's Barrington home when I was in grade school. Joe was a special person raised by extraordinary people. I will never forget Joe.

Dear Sloan Family,
I went to high school with Joe and would see him periodically up at Marquette University when he would visit Chris. I will always remember his big smile and his awesome basketball talent. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Sloan and family,
I was a very good friend of Joe's at Barrington High School. I was a year ahead of him and was just back to celebrate our 20 year reunion when I was told of his passing. I am so sorry for your loss and even though I had not seen him in 20 years I thought of him often and was shocked and so saddened to hear of his passing. My prayers are with all of you.

I am so deeply saddened by the loss of my little buddy, Joe. Having grown up with Mariellyn and mel and their kids, and being more like a older brother to Joe, Pat and Beth, not to mention the fact that we have all experienced tragic passings of people taken from us too soon......I cannot express amply my sentiments here about how this has affected me.
