<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 Jeff<u></u><u></u></p>

<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>
