Debbie, I will never forget when I was carpooling and you would drop Joe off at his office in Plymouth Meeting. The one day he dropped his Golf Digest magazine into my tote bag. Later in the day I found it & brought it over to your desk. You told me “Joe thought you might want to read it”, we laughed together that day & I still laugh when I think of that.
Joe was a kind man & I know he loved you so much. My condolences to you and your whole family 🙏🏻💔

I’m going to miss watching all the Eagles games and Phillies games with you. You always let me know what was happening even if I already knew. I loved that about you. You always made sure I had a pepsi in my hand. Definitely a gentleman by all means

Braden’s passion for golf was unmatched, and I will forever cherish the day he invited my husband and me to the iconic Masters Tournament, a highlight of my bucket list. As we stepped onto the pristine grounds, it felt surreal to be part of such a prestigious event. Starting at Hole #1, it was just Braden and me, sharing an unforgettable journey as we walked from hole to hole, concluding at #18. With every swing and putt, Braden shared his extensive
knowledge and witty anecdotes, transforming each hole into a captivating story. His enthusiasm and humor made that day not only enjoyable but also deeply memorable, leaving an indelible mark on my heart. Thank you, Braden, for that incredible experience; your spirit will always be with me. "To find a man's true character, play golf with him." ❤️
