I just got the news and am heartbroken - too soon for somebody who carried fun around in and on him like some people wear clothes or carry tools. He was fun. Thank goodness his spirit lives on in memories of the world's most obscene ORE briefing. Every time I heard that story told, I laughed.
Cyndi-so sorry to hear about Joe-I hope you're doing all right.
It's been a while since I heard Joe's offbeat humour. I can see him now with St Peter at the pearly gates..."Hey! Have you hear the one about...". Pax Joe!
Joe was one of a kind, and you two made a perfect couple....The world is a darker place for me now, knowing he isn't in it somewhere...pulling pranks of folks.
Cyndi and family, I am so very saddened to hear about Joe's passing. You two will always kind of frozen in time in my mind, 2 fine, young people in Kef. I can easily recall seeing Joe laying on a plotting table, working on a position..... It's obvious by this thread you're not alone and we will all have you in our hearts and minds.
Joe was one of the funniest guys I have ever known. There wasn't a day that I worked with him that he couldn't make the whole section laugh. Truely one of a kind.
When I first read this I just couldn't reply. man this is a sad time. I never thought I would be on this earth longer than Joe. Cyndi, our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. He has gone ahead to "scope the place out" and we'll all meet up again one day.
Cyndi - For the last 5 minutes, I have just st hear looking at this stupid screen, not knowing what to say...or wanting to say something that truly captures the feeling of loss...Jesus - I am so sorry for you and your family, sweetie. He was a good man.
I was so deeply saddened to hear about Joe. Cyndi my most heartfelt sympathies,thoughts and prayers are with you and your children during this difficult time.
