I also spoke with Joe last weekend and had no clue that this turn of events would take place. He was positive and in excellent spirits. He seemed to have put his setbacks behind him. I have know since the beginning of the year that Joe had been diagnosed with lung cancer. He did not want to burden the group with his problems. He was like that, thinking of his family and his Her2 family before himself.

He was always there behind the scenes. He is one of a kind and his loss will be evident to all those who were touched by him. I am truly at a loss for words.

All my love to Danielle, Debra and Christine
