I was so sorry to hear about Joe's passing. I went to Ascension with Joe and always remember him being such a kind guy. My deepest sympathies to you and your family during this heartbreaking time.

We are so very sorry to hear about Joe's passing. I had the pleasure of meeting Joe and playing music with him 20 years ago. He was one of the best drummers I have ever had the honor to play with. And I still laugh at some of the things he said to this day.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Kunkel family and the endless list of friends and fellow musicians that knew Joe. He will truly be missed.
Until we meet again, Godspeed Joe.
