Not sure what to say?

As the voice of Saturday Night Wrestling for 25 years, it was my distinct pleasure to not only know Gypsy Joe but to be able to call him my dear friend. He was revered among his peers and admired and loved by fans everywhere. My family had the pleasure of staying with his family many years back and we made many great memories that I will always cherish. God Speed Gypsy Joe......until we meet again.

Rest in peace, old friend. from the time I was 10 years old I looked up to you. May God bring comfort and peace to all who knew and loved you and May your legacy live on
