I was saddened to hear of Mr. Sudarsky's passing. He was one of my father's (Dutch Selwyn's) oldest friends, dating back to days at Camp Schoodick in Maine. He was my parents' trusted lawyers and his opinion was always valued. My deepest sympathies to the Sudarsky family for your loss. So much was accomplished and achieved in Mr. Sudarsky's life; he gave a great, great deal.

Please accept my condolences for your loss. My father, Dutch Selwyn, considered Joe one of his oldest friends, having shared a summer together in Maine at Camp Schoodick. At any time it is difficult to say goodbye. My thoughts are with you all.
