(RIP) Nzoner
Joe called me yesterday and asked to me post about what is going on.
If you haven't heard, he has been diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer. Talk about a rock. Guy survives his heart attack, then loses his wife, and now this? It's incredible to me how strong he is...I mean, can you imagine? They have given him a pain blocker that he says is working well, though he has trouble eating. He had a port installed for chemo. He is in incredibly good spirits, even though he admitted to me he's tired, he wants to finish the race shining the Light of the Lord to others. He's at peace and I'm proud of how he has handled ALL of this with so much grace. Please pray for mercy if you would be so kind. He didn't ask me to start this thread so people could feel sorry for him, he asked me because he wanted you all to know that the headstone finally was set in place, he just wasn't up to doing it ( in hospital today), and I don't blame him. I'd like to thank everyone who donated to this cause. Joe is a special guy a and all those bashes made more than good times, they made lifelong friends. I'll forever be grateful to have known him & Kathy. Be good to those you love. ----- MOD EDIT: Here's a little more detail on Joe's new work: Quote:

Damn Stevie, that was a hell of a nice tribute to Joe. I think you pretty well summed up what he was all about.
I've gotten through this so far with only a few tears, until now... |

RIP sir.
I remember saying to myself, "we're gonna go up to St. Joe this year and buy some fireworks". Well, the hustle and bustle of life happens and we never did that. Wish we would have. Our sincerest condolences to everyone who knew him. |

One of my favorite times with Joe in Vegas. CP's own Carlota is on Joe's right, I'm on his left. I don't recall who the other two are. One was a Vegas local, Vegas_Dave I believe.
