Jesse Inman wrote a sympathy message

“Dear American folks and family. In the brief time I knew your boy he quickly became my brother from another mother. Sorry for the crude term but I know he would chuckle. I don't know how to fill the space that's left with Joe not calling or writing a couple of times EVERYDAY! There is nothing that can replace the warmth that was the love I received from my unique and magnificent friend. I can only write so much here but I know I'll never stop writing or talking about my beautiful friend Joe.”
