I am saddened and shocked to learn of Joan’s passing. We were friends and neighbors in childhood on Robert St. in Hamden. I have the most wonderful picture of Joan taken with the Robert St. baseball team in the field next to Napier’s house. Will gladly share. Bill Butler
Dear Robert and Brian Joan and I were close classmates in Hamden High School. We went ice skating at the area in New Haven every week. That is where she introduced me to someone who later became my husband. She was on our school reunion committee with me for many years. Her personallity and smile was a winner. We had many happy memories. Lois
