    Dearest Lou and Family,
    We all spent many weekends and days with you all a few years ago.Joe was famous for his BBQ chicken which I absolutely loved. We spent many weekends together on Rick’s boat.
    I have thought of all of you often and was so very sorry to hear of Joe’s passing. He was one of the most calm and respectful people I have ever known. I suppose he had been retired for a few years by now. I remember Libby also and hope that you will give her my love.
    Joe will be missed by all. Please let Rick and Lydia also know that we miss them as well.
    All my love,
    Rick Winslow
