OMG this is horrible news
I am shocked
Joe is the best
very very sorry to hear this

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Another one of those "wished i'd taken a few more moments out of my busy life to talk to that dude and now i regret i didn't" kind of guys. Life sucks a little more every time some one catches their last one

Had the pleasure of getting to know Joe and his brother Jeff through doing the Plum Island Show and Rissa for a few years.....great, great people and I am so happy I got to enjoy some great time with Joe and with Jeff. My deepest condolences go out to Joes family and to his brother Jeff.......just no words for this loss. Too young. You just never know I guess.

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

I was crushed to hear of Joe's passing. He was way too young and full of life. Joe was an accomplished sax player, blues man, lure manufacturer, angler, and one of the most even tempered, warm hearted souls I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.

My heart and prayers go out to his family and friends. RIP Joe.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Joe for a long time. We shared so many laughs and good times. I never heard Joe say a bad thing about anyone. He was the true definition of a gentleman and will sorely be missed by all. My heart goes out to Jeff. Say hello to the mustache man Point Jude Joe.
