Ann Perce wrote a sympathy message

“Oh, Fran, Susan, and Chris--I just today read about Joe's death in the KIT. I am so very saddened--he was such a kind, decent, and loving man with so many talents and interests and so much love for you and your families. I sent him news of Hyde's death in March and recently the time of Hyde's service in July and was concerned that I did not hear from him. And now I understand. May your precious memories of Joe comfort you now. With sympathy, Ann Perce”
