Joe,
I love you and miss you terribly. I walked into the house today and expected to see you in your recliner and hear you yell out a hello. You may not have known, but I thought the world of you; I still do. You made me feel so welcome from the first moment I met you, like a part of the family. Every time Brenda and I would come to visit,you would tell me to get some cookies from the jar, a cold pop from the fridge, a popsicle from the freezer… You were such such a kind and generous man. I feel so blessed to have known you and so thankful that I got to tell you goodbye.
I love you,
Nik
