I met Joe 23 years ago at a Yakima Wa.gun show in the bathroom. Sorry where this story is going. I'm taking a leek, he hobbles up to me with a cane.Looks at me and says " hey  do you shoot cast bullets in rifles?" So that's where the friendship started me and another man in a bathroom. He had multiple health issues for years , more than most people would be able to take , and he kept bouncing back , A little over a week ago  it finally caught up to him. I could tell  it was getting bad because he told me he was "shovel ready" a few times.He  loved his  single shots and casting bullets. He was blessed with a wonderful wife , Wilma and many kids, grandkids and great grandkids who also share has love of the outdoors and shooting.
He was  77 years old .

Thx.

Joe and John Lewis corresponded  quite a bit via private messages. He was instrumental in Joe getting A 25-35 barrel for his CPA..

Yeah, kind of tough,I lost my dad about four months ago and Joe was one of my closest friends. My dad was a very mechanical blue-collar guy ,extremely intelligent, but Joe spent his working life in sales.And that's what I transitioned to , so he was very helpful when I went from working in the field to being in office boy.

Joe with one of many great grandkids.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.
