<p>I don't have words. I have thoughts, nebulous and disconnected. I
have memories, more faint than I wish they were now. I don't have
a coherent statement... I have emotions that I can't articulate.</p>
<p>I feel fortunate to get to hang out with Joe in Vegas in 2009. I
wish I'd written them more clearly to memory. <br>
</p>
<p>My respect for Joe's unwavering generosity with his experience
will be my fondest memory. If he's ever done it, and he probably
has, he'd always tell you how he got it done. It's with a heavy
heavy heart that I bid him goodbye.</p>
<p>So long, yosep. <br>

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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">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

<p class="MsoNormal">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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
I think that all we can do is to continue to hope for the best
and say a prayer or two for him.<br>

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.<br>
