Dear Brothers and Friends of Theta Chi,

It is with deep regret and a heavy heart that I sadly relate the news that our Brother, Joe Politi passed away last evening.
Joe's wife, Beth called me a little while ago and asked me to convey this sad news to the Brothers. As many of you know, due to kidney failure following a surgery some time ago, Joe was on dialysis. Related to that, Joe suffered a massive heart attack last night and joined the Chapter Eternal.
Individual expressions of condolences and sympathy should be conveyed to:

The Politi Family
4 Smoke Rise Ct.
Montvale, NJ. 07645
201-476-6060 (H)

As is our custom, we will purchase a memorial brick to be placed in Joe's memory in the Pathway of Brotherhood at the International Headquarters of Theta Chi Fraternity, Inc. in Indianapolis, Indiana. Suggested donation is $25.00. The brick and the rendering which we will present to Joe's family costs $150.00. Total donations above that amount will be contributed to the Fraternity's endowed, Leadership Fund in Joe's name and memory. The Leadership Fund is used to underwrite the cost of providing the Fraternity's educational and leadership programing activities to our undergraduate Brothers throughout the year, i.e.: The Deranian Presidents Conference, the Mid-Year Leadership Challenges, Chapter Leadership Conference and the School of Fraternity Practices. I think this is something Joe would want us to support in his memory.
If you desire to contribute, please issue a check to: "Foundation Chapter of Theta Chi Fraternity, Inc.".
In the Memo section write: "Joe Politi-Memorial Brick."
Please send the checks to me at the address below and I will collect them and forward them on to the IHQ.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Beth, their sons, Joe and Andy and the entire Politi family.
Thank you, Brothers and friends.

Fraternally and Sincerely,
Jim Moylan
