Imagine...me lost for words. The last time I saw Joe was the day before Mothers Day 2012. It was that day I learned of his illness. We had a very nice chat at White Hills Shopping Park and I was grateful for that chance meeting of an old friend. Joe impressed me with his strength to live his life in a positive way. A talented man, his sculptures will live on forever for people to enjoy. I wish peace for his family.

Joe...may you RIP my friend.

Joe has been and will remain an inspiration to me by sharing his life experiences and what he learned from them. He always touched me by his open and honest reflections. He made me look at myself and want to be a better person. He gave more to many than he knew. I will love you always my brother Joe.
