Re: Joe passed on this evening
I cannot believe what I am reading. Joe...our Joe? Joe and this website have been a life saver for so many people and now we learn that he has passed away from the same disease he had helped us to battle, in countless ways. I am so very sorry. Joe's family was blessed with a one in a million husband/father and more. Praying for comfort and strength for all of you during this very sad time.
