(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:

I know a lot of you are mentioning the Super Bowl, and to be honest he had always maintained that the first one will probably be the only one, so I'm definitely glad we won another. NOT FIXED!
Love you Joe. |

Rest easy, Joe. You lived a meaningful and purpose driven life, and you gave far more than you got. We will ALL miss you here on Earth, but you have earned your place with Jesus and a reunion with the love of your life, Kathy.

I'm really sad to see him go, so glad he went with a SB trophy in his memory. He's got the best seat now to watch Mahomes and this dynasty continue it's reign over the NFL. HE'S IN THE ULTIMATE PRESS BOX.
RIP Mr. NZONER |

I haven't been around much lately, and I didn't know the man, but everyone spoke highly of him. I'm sorry that you all lost a cherished friend.

I vote we move forward with the NZONER Lounge. as much as Otis Taylor was a legendary Chief. Nzoner was a legendary member of ChiefsPlanet. Let's pay respect now.

Can’t say I knew him in person, but based off the comments here it’s clear what kind of man we all lost. At least he made it to see another SB win. The pain is now over and he is free. No more pain, suffering, or loss for him.

I only met him one time briefly, but I know that he was well-known and regarded by those who knew him in person, and of course I feel like I knew him from hanging out here. And he liked Springsteen as much as I did, which is the sign of a cultured man. RIP to him.

Damn. Joe was definitely a legend on here. The bashes always seemed like such a great time and Joe and Kathy definitely were the King and Queen of hospitality from what I could tell from the stories and pictures. I’m thankful he’s finally able to celebrate the Super Bowl win with Kathy. You know that’s all he has been waiting for to put the cherry on top of the celebration. I bet Lenny and Otis even dropped by the party! RIP Joe! You’ll be missed by a lot of us who didn’t really even know you so I know you’ll be extremely missed by those lucky enough to have had the pleasure!

Rest in Peace to my friend Joe. Will never forget the time we had together in downtown Chicago. It was legendary, thank you for the memories and you will never be forgotten, a wonderful man.
