Please join me today remembering a good and kind friend.
All the best Joe.
Steve,
Thank you.
Yes, it was one year ago when we all learned of the tragic news.
We will be watching the Super Bowl just like we always do but we will hoist our glasses to Joe I'm sure at some point to remember our friend.
Joe loved coming down to Luraville to cave dive and we spent many an evening watching football, drinking Heineken's talking about that day's dives.
Here's to you buddy...
I did not know Joe but I have acquired some of his equipment. If he is watching, I invite him to ride along with me on any dive he wants.
That's mighty nice of you, Vince. I knew Joe from rooming with him during a dive trip in Newfoundland in '06, he'll appreciate the offer.Quote:

Just a reminder for the day today. February 4, 2007 we lost a great friend... RIP Joe.
Steve, There is no forgetting Joe. He made sure of that while he was with us ;-)Quote:

Safe diving,

Dove with Joe once at Peacock and shared a room and breakfast on another occasion but didn't dive together. Joe was a guy you spent a few hours with and felt like you knew him for a long time. He grew on you very quickly and had a gift for making friends easily. I remember him raggin on my ill-fitting drysuit...."you'll have to get drysuit that fits you one day" :-)
I got a dry suit that fits, Joe! Still trying to fix my trim :-)
Joe is one of the friendliest and kindest person, you would ever want to meet. David enjoy diving with him every time he got a chance when Joe came down to cave country. We have warm memories of a great friend and will never forget. God Bless his family.
Time flies and tomorrow will be the fifth anniversary of Joe's passing.
We miss him and think about him and the family he left behind often... he was a great guy and a very active member of the tek/cave community.
Joe was one of the good guys.
Thanks Doppler for the reminder...use to dive with him all the time at Gilboa / Whitestar...great guy, gone too soon.
I was just talking about Joe weekend before last while in Luraville. I crashed in one of the rooms at Cathy's that has two beds, and remembered the last time I stayed in that room was with Joe. Great guy.
Two pages and no pics?
I'll have a glass or two of red this evening, fondly remembering good times in Newfoundland summer '06 with Joe and others.
