I never met the guy in person and like many he did get under my skin on occassion BUT he was truly passionate about this hobby and the hobby is worse off without him. From what he said his collection was truly outstanding and he dedicated more time than most to contibuting to the betterment of our community. He is probably dominating discussions as we speak with the ballplayers he collected for the past 70 years, RIP my friend!
Joe, you will be in my prayers!

I always got along with Joe...I guess that's because we're both opinionated....for better or worse. RIP.

Sad
I am very sorry to hear of Joe's passing. He had a great passion and sense of humor about our hobby, and will be missed.
I loved his Luque story!

Although I did not know Joe well he always seemed to have something positive to say to me even in the midst of all the crap. I am very saddened to hear of this. May you be well and my deepest condolense to your family Joe.

Wow, what a bummer. I got into a few times with Joe many years ago. After one of our message board battles he picked up the telephone to speak with me. We became friends by the end of that conversation and never looked back. To know him was to love him. His presence will surely be missed.

One of the lucky ones
As Jim stated a few pages earlier, he, Dan and I along with long time collector Ashby M. sat down with Joe for well nearly 2 hours at the last Chantilly show. And yes, Joe had his binder with T217's, T210's and T209's, and he also had his 3 key T206's with him(highlited by a magificent Doyle). None of these cards carried "value" to Joe, each had it's own story and special place in his collection.
Joe and I had emailed back and forth for nearly a decade, he even had an old email from me in his binder! Joe explained to me he had been ill and was on the mend, but getting around for a long period on his feet was quite a task. He was very concerned about being able to get to Baltimore and if so if he would have the stamina to make the walking of the aisles of such a huge venue. Unfortunately many people will now not get to meet Joe in person and get to experience first hand his enthusiasm for collecting. Good bye Joe, it was an honor to get to know you! Scott
