Joseph "Gojo" Block

My earliest memory of joe was when he entered a competition in ft laud. called The barefoot mailman....they would lug a heavy bag and walk from ft laud beach head north till there was only one left standing. He cosigned for my first set of wheels at 14yrs old which I paid off with a large paper route. He helped me acquire my first credit card at the lemon tree where I met Natalie Block for the first time. He once paid my way to accompany him on a trip to liousville KY to introduce him to aunts,uncles and cousins that he hardly knew. I always told my mother that I wanted to be just like Joe when I grew up. He often made a big deal of my military service and tour in viet nam. He sold me my first triumph motor cycle which changed my life with endless good times. I could go on and on. I had met so many of his friends that instantly respected me from association as his brother. Miss him terribly

I can honestly say that every time we would see Gojo he always had a kind word and his winning smile! We will greatly miss that grin on the cay. Our deepest condolences to Nancy the love of his life and his family

I think Joe´s favorite story is the time he was in the Bahamas staying on his boat. He was out for a walk and came across a young boy selling newspapers on a corner. Now as a young boy himself, Joe also sold newspapers on a corner. This young boy had a large stack of papers to sell. As Joe recalled his days of doing the same, he pulled out enough cash to buy every paper the boy had. Then Joe walked along passing out free newspapers to whomever wanted one. I kind of choked up hearing him tell me this as I sold newspapers as a kid also.

Magne and I met Joe in 2000 on Guana Cay. He was always there to answer questions we had and help us anyway he could, that was just how Joe was. He was our neighbor and a good friend.
My deepest sympathies go to Nancy and his family. Rest in peace my friend.

I have so many good memories of Joe and Nancy thru the years it´s difficult to settle for just one. Joe will be missed by everyone.

I first met GoJo about 25 years ago. He called me Barbara! When I told him my name was Carol, he said I looked like a Barbara! So that is what he called m all these years!! Joe is an amazing man. I feel so blessed to have called him "friend."

A kind and fun guy .Picture taking after Hurricane Dorian .Lots of love for Nancy and family.

What a loving tribute to Joe. Very heartfelt.

One of my favorite friends from Giana cat, you will be missed my friend.

Joe was such a lovely person, always so kind to me. My most memorable trip with him and friends and of course Nancy, was to Patagonia, Chile. I spent a day with him as the others went off on a hike earlier, we had the best time. Love you and you will be missed.
