I knew Joe for a few years, we used to be really close and then we drifted apart... I only heard about his passing last night because I’m not somebody he ever had around physically. I knew him as somebody who always wanted to help other people before he would help himself. He would stay up into the early hours of the morning talking to me, reassuring me, singing and playing guitar for me, all just to make sure I would fall asleep because he knew he was the one thing that helped. I can’t begin to imagine how many times he helped me through difficult patches of life, and I just wish he could be here to help me through this one. Truly a light in the darkest of hours, he is very missed, and still very loved. X
