Outpouring of support appreciated

1 min read

To all friends and family supporting the Taptich family,

The outpouring of support as we grieve has been humbling. Our community, family and friends, near and far have been unwavering in their love and care for Team Taptich.

We have done our best to thank you all individually; however, your collective efforts warrant a more public "thank you." Please know that we felt every act of kindness, every effort to support us. They were all effective in giving us strength through this difficult time. Your love for Joey and his family is obvious. We are forever grateful.

Our family is researching ways to honor Joey and the man he was in perpetuity. We look forward to your support of that endeavor as it unfolds. Until that time, endure, persevere, laugh, celebrate, find ways to have fun, be adventurous, love hard, go after what you want, be curious and have grit – that's what Joey would do.

Thank you.

Dan, Susan, Anna and Hannah Taptich
