I didn't know him but read his posts after he was headed home with Hospice. His last few posts put life into perspective. RIP Joe!!

45 ACP because shooting more than once is just silly!!

I had feared this for some time. He put up a strong fight. RIP Joe. You did us proud.

That look on your face, when you shift into 6th gear, but it's not there.
A good old boy that added much to this site and will be missed. RIP Joe
Take a kid to the range, you'll both be glad you did.
I will add my RIP. I am praying for the family, but I believe they know where he is and are comforted by this fact.

There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!
Very sad to hear this. He was always a gentleman and will be missed dearly.
I keep trying to stay afloat but can't help from shooting holes in my own boat.
My condolences to the family. I know he is resting easy.

I am really saddened by that news. I corresponded a bit with Joe and bought a few items here and there including one of his tools for bumping up a nose on a boolit, although I have yet to use it. I'll keep that treasure. He sure seemed like a guy you would love to sit down and have a cup of coffee with and shoot the ****. You'll be missed by this member, Joe... and surely by many more.

Fair winds and a following sea, sir.
Well done.

If it was easy, anybody could do it.
RIP Joe.
Bought some stuff from him. Talked a couple of times. Such a quality guy. His faith was strong, he was a blessing. Til then, rest.
I am very saddened to find out that Joe has passed.I purchased his .45-70 Gould boolit mould , I know he had to have shipped it before receiving my money order.Like others have stated Joe was just that kind of guy.
I am glad the mould came with a boolit that he had cast.With the good Lord willing I will try and place it well this deer season.
I will never forget his words when he knew his time on earth was nearing it's end , his faith and strength is a testament to all of us.
Rest In Peace Joe.

He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.
You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.
You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."

I believe this is the same Joe I helped post pics of a dozen muzzle loaders he was selling. Nice fella. I chatted on the phone with him.
