We were so saddened to hear of Joe’s passing. For 15 years we were 6 month visitors from Canada to Indian Rocks Beach and fished with Joe from the shore or across the street at the intercostal. I loved helping find shoreline treasures for him depending on his current art project. Joe was a gentle soul with a huge and kind heart. You will be missed our friend.

Joe was a wonderful neighbor and friend. He was always there to lend a hand with advice or a tool to fix things. I have many fond memories of Joe. Going to his shop to cut wood on his table saw for a project. Having dinner together, Popeyes fried chicken. I think it was one of his favorites. Or riding around IRB in his golf cart. I enjoyed spending time and talking with Joe. He had an easy way about him. With a smile and laugh he made you feel glad you did. You will be missed my friend.

I will always remember Joe standing on the beach with a rod in hand. He would hook a whiting and immediately look around for the nearest kid to pass the rod to so they could reel it in. I learned a lot about fishing the gulf from Joe and I know many others did as well. When his knee prevented him from walking to the beach I would stop in and share fishing stories and photos with him. I was lucky to call him a friend for over a decade and will truly miss him.
