Though I did not know him personally, live in a very different country, and am of a much younger generation, his articles on Aeschylus' Agamemnon in the Classical Quarterly in particular were of an exceptionally high standard, and classical scholarship has certainly benefitted from them.

I remember warmly Joe's always trenchant comments on the Commonweal blog over the years. Especially astute in matters of language, but also thoughtful and wise in all his comments, he was respected and looked to by all on that forum as one of our most brilliant and valued contributors. May he rest in peace and rise in glory.
