Sad news indeed.   He was a good guy.

Always smiling when I saw him out and about. Nice guy to chat with.

An email I just received:

I wanted to let everyone know that Joe is home under the care of Cornerstone Hospice. He he was in the hospital twice in one week and the decision was made between him, his family and myself to bring him home surrounded by his family, close friends  and lots of love and caring.He declined rapidly in the last two weeks to where he could not stand up without two people, and could not walk even with his walker. I am so proud of him and his courageous battle with his brain cancer. like a true Marine, he fought valiantly, always telling everyone he was "always fine", never took so much as a Tylenol through it all. Thank you so much for all your support and kind words. I read him each and every one of your messages. Hopefully someday, they will find a way to treat glioblastoma multiform, as it is an especially insidious form of cancer.

Well, that fucking sucks.

Fuck cancer.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride! -Hunter S. Thompson

A sad day indeed. Joe (Tow Joe) was a great friend and an all around good guy who would help anyone anytime especially in the Mini community. He will be sadly missed RIP Joe.

Yes in December. This particular cancer doesn't provide much time.
