Thanks to DrKen and real80sman for allowing some insight into the life of Joe. Often people hear about a tragedy that has occurred to someone they knew even if only in brief or as an acquaintance. As these odd or amazing facts come to light showing yet another incredible facet of their lives, people often feel a pride in saying, "hey, i knew that guy".
Both my wife and I had the pleasure, however brief, of meeting Joe on our tour and i can honestly say that unlike Alan, Joe actually does look like his photos online. Although our chat was short, he seemed a gentle and thoughtful person.
We will follow Jack's lead in raising a glass to the illustrous Joe Vassallo and echo everyone else in saying we wish you the best of luck!
