My deepest sympathy in your loss of dear Jo, may you find comfort in each other’s arms. Jo, we will hold your precious spirit and beautiful music in our hearts forever.

To the family of Jo:

Please accept my condolences on the passing of a truly fine musician. In my role as the director for many years of the downtown Rotary shows, I was amazed at how Jo would consistently find ways to enhance the productions with his talent at the piano. It was an honour to call him my musical colleague.

Dear Carl,

For years and years Jo has talked with me about how lucky he was to have you for a brother.

Each time you got in touch with him he would call me – all excited – and tell me how you made his day and how terrific he felt.

When Jo (he didn’t let us call him Ernie) was in Wentworth he sent me out to find a green garnet ring for him to give you as a present.

It had to be a garnet. It had to be green. I don’t know why.

We were not able to make it happen, but just so you know.

I’m very sorry for the loss of your adorable baby brother and wish you peace and blessings.
