                    which is about a ninety miles Northwest of 
                    RIchmond. We always talked about getting together

                    <div>Years ago, I bought a Rockwell router from the
                      late 1950's or early 1960's on Ebay with the
                      intent of fixing it up and using it. It sat in my
                      shop for several years and I thought I wasn't
                      going to do anything with it, so I called Joe and
                      asked him what his address was, and told him I had
                      a gift for him. . So, I sent it off via UPS and
                      about a week later he called me and sounded like a
                      kid at Christmas. Even though it needed bearings,
                      he was so excited to get it. So he call his friend
                      at Accurate bearings and they suggested that he
                      send it to them to fix. Off it went and when he
                      got it back he said it ran a new one. He was so
                      excited to get such a simple gift. </div>

                        one time on the IRC he made me believe he was

                    <div>Over the years, Joe berated me for having AOL
                      as my ISP, because invariably I would go to delete
                      list emails and hit the spam button instead, and
                      then I wouldn't get any list emails. He would call
                      me up yelling that he had to get Jason to do a
                      work around, and tell me to get the hell rid of

                        he was very open honest about the health
