Thank you so much your kind words.
I met Joe through mutual friends, and he was always so supportive of our creative endeavors. He helped out a lot and will be greatly missed by many.
I will DEARLY miss you friend. Sending healing vibes to his family and friend. Rest easy joe.
I just learned of Joe’s passing. I am very deeply saddened to hear this news. I have known Joe for over 25 years. Our cross paths have crossed through the years whether it be dating, dancing, skydiving and even working claims in Louisiana last year. He always knew how to have a good time. He was always such a caring person. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends at this time. Please tell me know if there’s anything I can do. I would love to attend the memorial service in St. Louis if there is one. I will miss you Joe!
I met Joe in the 90’s. i was a skydiving instructor/coach and we made many skydives together. Joe was a good man, fun to be with and a decent skydiver. blues skies, my friend.
All I can say is horrible I feel that it took me this long to go find this out. I talked to him last in June last year. We were both toying ( me doing) going back to Midwest to take care of family. Joe was always the person you wanted in your corner. He would do anything for friends. Of which were so many. I’m so sorry. I’m heart broken.
