[Woodworkers] Where's Joe?

[Dave Heitstuman]

WOW, I just got a text from my daughter, and checked my email.

I am left speechless and sad and a few other emotions all at the same time.  I was welcomed into this group by this big friendly goofball that Idaho Dave brought by my house one day about 12 years ago.  Joe and I became friends mostly through emails between us.  His sense of humor was one of a kind.  He could point out things with something you had done that never once felt like he was critiquing your work at all.  It was just pure fun.
I will cherish the week I spent with him redoing my daughters bathroom for the rest of my life.  He will be deeply missed by my daughter and myself.

RIP my friend.

Hi dave,
This is jeff devlin joe's woodworking partner... I am the one in the videos...  I am 4 years into a traumatic brain injury so I don't partake in emails and such, but I have been part of the group for a long time. I didn't know who to tell so I am telling you. That it is with sad regret to tell you that Joe Johns passed away yesterday morning around 4 am under the care of hospice. I am still in shock and don't know anything else at this time... I would appreciate it if you could let the others know...  Thanks Jeff

I called Joe a couple weeks ago and we had a good conversation.  I don't feel that it is my place to pass on any of the medical stuff he shared with me but I hope it is OK if I tell everyone this.

He sounded like he was tired but I think he is on the road to recovery albeit a bit slow.  His attitude is good, and he is working on a plan to get back in his shop.

I think that all we can do is to continue to hope for the best and say a prayer or two for him.

2Dave

Is anybody near Joe that could fill us in? I think I speak for every single person on this list when I say we are all genuinely concerned.
