A wonderful person who could see the potential and share with others, especially myself, the chance to grow as a person and as an artist. I am very fortunate to have known him.
His spirit will live forever.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Joe's death. My condolences to Hester and her family. I feel honored to have known Joe as a teacher, mentor, and friend. He was a wonderful voice at times when I most needed wise advice. We are fortunate to have the legacy of his vision live on in his artwork.
