Dear Janice and Family, My sincerest condolences on the loss of Joe. I remember our trip to California for the Milken Conference. Joe visited Jamieson School to mentor me as a new principal and I was so grateful for his tutelage. God Bless! Kevin McCann

Our deepest sympathy to Joe's family. We really enjoyed out time with Joe and Janice on our BodSquad trip to Spain and Portugal. He was a pleasure to be around and have a conversation with. We will miss him.
