). So, basically he feels like crap.In his own illimitable style however, he is of course still making plans for his next project. Probably gonna be another helo, so we've got some good stuff to look forward to. He's also got Maryanne, his amazing wife, to look after his needs while he's down. Id say he's doing a damn sight better than I'd be in his position.
That being said, I'm sure he could use some support from the gang here at the Big A. Many of you I'm sure have been touched by Joe's amazing generosity (He gives away kits left & right, and even sends off his completed masterpieces to admirers just because they happen to like or have a history with that particular vehicle or system.), and even more have benefitted from his vast store of knowledge and access to references-which he supplies with no desire of reciprocity. This guy is a gem, and a true asset to the site. I would like to ask that anyone reading this post a message for him, or PM him, email, or for those of you with his phone # or address, give him a call or send a card. Just knowing how much his "other familiy" cares will certainly go a long way toward easing his mind in a troubled time.
Few of us had a chance to give our support to another of our Site's guiding lights (Garry Beebe- clear skies & following seas, pal
) before he was lost to us, so, PLEASE- lets not allow this chance to pass.I realize this is a modeling site first & foremost, but we're also a community. Can we take the time to show our friend how much we care? I hope so.
Thank you for your time.
p.s.-If I can get Staff_Jim's approval, I may be hitting you up for a more concrete ~ahem~ monetary response to this unfortunate circumstance. stay tuned...
