Joan,
Though we seldom saw each other, Joe and I had been friends for a long, long time. I will surely miss our talks and conversations we had together,
May God Bless and Comfort you in these times.

Joan,
I am so sorry to hear this. When I was diagnosed with PC ten years ago, I called Joe. He provided much insight and comfort. I will miss him.

Let us all hope and pray that medical science will soon rid us of this terrible disease. _________________ Please visit my web site and Soundcloud page and listen to the music posted there.

Bobby,
Joan needs some help packing up Joe's steel, when she sells it. I told her I would help if I could. If she has to ship it, she's going to need a box and some advice on how to ship it. She may contact you. Just giving you a heads up.

Dear Joan:
I am very sorry to hear this... Joe was my first teacher here in Houston. I had been off steel for almost 20 years, and had forgotten most of anything I knew by then. I learned a lot from him.
I still have some notes from our earlier sessions, going back to right after I got my Remington 12-string. He got me sorted out right away working on fundamentals, chord grips, and helping me to get around on the wider neck.
I lost touch with him over the last few years, unfortunately.
With my deepest sympathy,
James M. Cross |
