Not sure what to say?

Wow, I thought I felt a rift in the force last week. Joe Stearns was one of the 1st friends I made when I hit Lexington in the summer of 79. He came to my house that year on Christmas night to invite me to a party at High on Rose and left a note in my door, but I was working the 6pm-2am shift at Gen. Tel. so I missed the party!! He knew I was away from my family for the 1st time ever and at Christmastime, and he was going to make sure I wasn't all alone. He came over when my mom and brothers...

He is an unforgettable guy who presided over the halcyon days of High on Rose. His ribald sense of humor was hilarious! He was generous and thoughtful like the time he pulled $300 in cash out of the register and put it in may hand with only the good faith I would pay it back.

To Joe-A man who could light up a room with his laugh. The world is a darker place without you in it. I'm sure you and John are together, have a pitcher on me.

I will never forget Joe Brock's infectious laughter. He had a way of using words and telling stories that had everyone laughing within minutes of entering a room. RIP Joe Brock

In 1974 , used to go into the High on Rose cantina, and remembered the wrestlers who came in before and after their matches across the street, great conversations in this bar with the staff, ....good food and good times....RIP My friend JOE

we had the best of times. what a great friend. Dutch Roberts

So long, old friend, ...Say howdy to Timmy Z. Stevie S. Bad Bill K. & Miss Ella.

Joe was a rare man, he treated everyone as equals, his equals. Sorry to hear of his death.

I am so sorry to hear of Joe's passing. He was a good hearted person. His laugh is etched in my memory.
