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.

Condolences to the family. Joe corresponded with me frequently during my bout with colon cancer. His help was appreciated.

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.

Please accept my condolences. Joe and I never net, but we exchanged a few e-mails over the years.

Let us all hope and pray that medical science will soon rid us of this terrible disease.

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
