Wow....so unexpected. I waited to reply to this because I thought it must be a mistake.
I liked Joe... he helped make this hobby more enjoyable. His posts ( and sometimes his demeanor) was controversial at times...but that was Joe. He really just liked the attention. (Good and bad)
He had a passion for getting those hard to get items. Many people envied some of those items. I will always remember his love for Hooters!! Every time I see a Hooter's logo....I'll crack a little smile while shedding a tear for "our" creeper.
I also think we should have some sort of "creeper" award annually.....even if it's a ChipBoard award. (Maybe a "Creeper" of the Month??) There will never be another Joe...
My condolences to his family, friends, loved ones.....and of course All those Hooter's Girls in the World!!
You will be missed!!!
