THE BEST STRIPER FISHERMAN I EVER HAD THE PLEASURE TO MEET!

[LINESIDES]

I could go on and on about my memories with this great man.
I am proud to say I knew him, fished with him, and he was a great friend! I picked this up on another site. I spoke to him only two-week's ago. And I new he was not well. And said he would fight it to the end! He was modest guy, but every body new he was a "KING"! You were simply the "BEST"! Rest in peace Joe!

I'm am very sad to report that the legendary captain of the Blackhawk, Joe Cordiero, died last night after a courageous battle with cancer. Many members have fished with Joe since the 70's. Words right now could not due justice to the meaningful relationship that many of us had with Joe.
