I have only talked to Joe once or twice so most people would say that he is pretty much a stranger to me. The thing about it is, I feel like he is a friend, a good friend at that!

I like to think of myself as a tough guy but I will admit that I am in tears as I type this. Joe, you must be something special to have such an effect on me!

All my best to you and your family. Live life to its fullest! You have all the respect in the world from me.
