    Our deepest sympathies go out to Maureen for the loss of her dear husband. Joe has been taken from all of us much too early. We will remember him for our regular dinners together with friends, our healthy competition to travel to exotic places around the world, and his bigger-than-life laugh. We will miss you, Joe!
