The baseball season is right around the corner. The Press Box won't be the same without Big Joe,alias The Big Nasty. I'm especially going to miss my daily insults. Please feel free to stop by, and let's exchange a handshake in his memory.

I listened to Joe when he was on AM570 from 7-10pm. I had heard about him but was finally able to put a voice to the person. Between 2007-2008 I was going through a rough time personally and his show really lifted my spirits each day. He closed his show by playing "End of The Line" by The Traveling Wilburys.

Big job's wit and humor is deeply missed around the DODGERS PRESS BOX. To all of you who have spent a message to this site, just know that he would've been really surprised. Stop by and share your story with me.

RIP Big Joe
You always made my afternoon commute enjoyable with your wit and knowledge of LA sports. A job well done.

A true LA Radio Legend He'll be sorely missedRIP Big Joe

Big man with a bigger heart. Much about his great broadcasting career but Joe gave to the community during his Alemany HS years. Fond memories of Joe coaching our GH Babe Ruth League team the Royals. Parents and players alike loved him. God Bless You Joe.

Joe it was a pleasure to know you. I only wish I had the chance to say goodbye before I moved. I will always remember you. Theresa Gassler
