James A. Skeldon,
Mere words cannot express my sorrow for the passing of Joe, a man I have known and worked for during most of my career. I have not met a more honest, hard-working, or decent man. I know Joe must have missed Katherine too much to stay here.
I am sorry for being unable to attend the services today and wish I could be there. After a period, I will contact you all again about financial matters better talked about later.
