She was in the hospital in Madison but went home to recover. She is feeling better but still very weak. Joe is in Huntsville Hospital and refuses to go on a ventilator. His chances of recovering from the cancer are very low and now the virus. He is in palliative care at the hospital. Please keep him and Fran in your prayers.

He made contributions to the Aerospace and Defense Industry for 34 years, prior to his retirement. He was a man of few words, but when he talked it was worth listening to him. He was a mentor and role model to many and a wonderful husband and father.
