We will never forget you, Joe.
Love from your family





20 Aug 2007

Joe: So much time has passed as it has been 38 years now since you left us. I wish so much you could have been here so I could share all the joys in my life, like my family. I have tried to find out as much about those last 2 months and about you, Joe, as I could. I have learned a lot, and I know you would probably be mad at me for spending so much time trying to find out about you, but it was because of how I feel about you. You made such an impression on me, Joe, that I will never forget you nor stop thinking about you. I am so proud of what you became and what you did with your life in such a short period of time, but it makes my heart ache every time I think about losing you and never being able to share things that brothers share. I have tried to live my life as full as possible as I know this would be a dedication of your life that you could not have. I love my family so much that I want to share them with you but I know that I cannot. It makes me sad to think that you will never have the chance to have the joy of having children. They are such a joy that words cannot describe it, and they make me so proud.

Some of the men that you served with, Joe, are now gone from this life. It makes me sad to lose them as well. Whenever I get the chance, Joe, I tell people about you and what you did. I miss you.

Your kid brother,
Harry
