I have only recently learned of his passing and am deeply saddened. My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and family. I have no doubt that he became an exceptional physician, and I know he was an exceptional man.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-150401409572300208.post-70371874835437799692010-01-08T19:32:09.591-08:002010-01-08T19:32:09.591-08:00Thank you for this story.

God puts us in certain places at certain times. It is our choice what we do with these opportunities. Thank you so much for doing the right thing at that moment and helping this couple. Joe the Jogger was my cousin. I live in Ohio and I have not seen Joe in years. Most of my memories of Joe are as a young child. I remember Joe stealing the stage in a light pink tuxedo jacket as he did a break dance at his sister Jannet’s wedding in the early 1980’s. I feel like I have gotten to know him as an adult over the past week as I have listened to others tell there heartwarming stories about him.Carolyn Giffordnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-150401409572300208.post-29238061478991193362010-01-07T03:48:17.070-08:002010-01-07T03:48:17.070-08:00Joe was an amazing man, truly the best of us.

He was the kind of man I hoped my son would grow up to be, and the kind of husband I hoped my daughter would marry. <br /><br />My wife, Sue, and I knew Joe and Jennifer when he was in the Navy. Everyone who knew him admired him and loved him.<br /><br />Last year, I happened to meet someone who turned out to be a mutual friend from New York City. Joe was his role model, teacher, and friend. Which proves that Joe has always touched everyone he met in a deep and important way.<br /><br />He will always be missed, and treasured in our hearts. <br /><br />John and Sue RingquistAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-150401409572300208.post-22646760532817230382010-01-06T10:27:29.022-08:002010-01-06T10:27:29.022-08:00Thanks for sharing your story.
