Thanks, y'all. He really was a lovely person, as was his wife, Muriel. They had four great kids, and the family was very close. Three of the kids decided to live in Dover (N.J.), very close to Joe, and the other came to visit a lot. We saw them quite often when we lived in NYC. I visited the school a couple of times, but mostly we would go out to eat at their house, which had walls COVERED with great comic art. Like various comic illustrator friends drawing Joe as Superman, or a comic strip version by Sergio Aragones of a vacation trip Joe made with him and some other artists, which was very funny.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The hardest part is that Jason is on a motorcycle trip for Harley around Washington State this week and can't go to the funeral on Tuesday. He's really torn up about it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
So sorry, Scrappy.

Scrappy really sorry to hear this. And sorry that Jason is in a position where attending is impossible.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'm so sorry, Scrappy. My condolences to J, as well.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
oh hugs to Scrappy and Jason and the whole Uncle Joe family.
I was coming to complain, but I will not. I will instead share some happy news - by the end of next month I will be back down to credit card zero balance. Only 3 months after mac's hospitalization that started the balance carrying again. YAY!
