Joe Sovacool

I started in the newsroom on his team the week of 9/11. I was looking for his contact information online today because I found a printed copy of an email he sent out when he hired me and I just wanted to say hi. Funny how we take for granted that we can always come back and say hello to someone we knew.

I knew joe in high school. He could play guitar at age 16 like leo kotche. His last name says it all so very cool. I am so sad to hear of his passing.

I went to high school with Joe. He was the coolest guy even back then. Always nice, always friendly.

I just happen to see Joe's Obiturary. I knew him way back in middle school and I always thought the World of Joe. My heart goes out to his family. He's a legacy here in Charlotte, NC. RIP

I was fortunate to work in the Charlotte Observer newsroom as a copy carrier. Joe was the coolest. He will be missed. RIP Joe Sovacool.

You soul rest in peace

Just learned of Joe's passing yesterday. Never met him in person but talked frequently on the phone and via e-mail for years concerning issues with the weather page in the Observer. Always a treat to converse with him, even when he was correcting something we had screwed up. I have several old e-mails from Joe saved just for the way he talked, and I heard his voice when I went back and read them all today. Lots of "hey man" and "thanks hoss" along with a ton of made up words, but you knew...

I was so sorry to hear of Joe's passing. He was such a great guy and so much fun. I was one of the lucky people who got to know him & to share camping and beach trips with him and mutual friends. My thoughts are with his family.

To the family,
Please accept our heartfelt condolences.My prayers and thoughts will be with you in this difficult time.
