[Oe List ...] Joe Crocker's Passing

[Dharmalingam Vinasithamby]

 Dear Maryln,
It was sobering to hear of Joe's last hours. The news reminded me of my early encounters with him and you in Kuala Lumpur and of the adventure we had with our many colleagues at the ITI in Singapore in 1969. Working with both of you in the KL House, and later at the HDP and training school in Maliwada and seeing your children growing up in that environment was a memorable experience. My prayers for all of you as you continue the journey without his physical presence.
with love.Dharmalingam

 Dear Colleagues on the Long March of Love,
Just a note to say my beloved Joe passed on to the "next chapter" yesterday at 5:41 AM, after a nearly 48-hour, post-stroke journey.  Ben, Jon and I were with him for most of that time, and it was a deeply meaning-filled experience of remembering with gratitude.  All 4 grandchildren and both daughters-in-law were able to visit early in the process of our “watching, waiting and standing present".  The staff at Watson Fields were amazingly loving and supportive during our sojourn, and gathered to witness Joe's “send-out” into the funeral hearse, accompanied by the singing of Amazing Grace.
God gives, and God takes away, and we give thanks.
Grace and Peace,
Marilyn _______________________________________________
