Condolence: Joey, Betsy and I are sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. I have many childhood memories of Uncle Joel, his kindness will not be forgotten. We appreciated his hospitality when we would go to New Martinsville. Our children will always remember listening to Uncle Joel play trombone in the basement and later having your delicious baked steak for dinner. Prayers are being lifted up for comfort and strength as you mourn his passing.

Condolence: It's is with deep regret that I read of the passing of your Father. Potto was one of those many icons that made the city of New Martinsville the Great city that it is. "The Parlor City"
