NorCal Help Needed!

The truck and Joe deserve every bit of that award. It's a damn fine truck, and the owner ain't so bad

I'm looking forward to viewing those Super 8's, we'll have to set something up with Alison's projector.

Congrats again Joe, hope you're enjoying the weather with your wife and F-100.

 

Everyone who showed up to help, take pictures and hang out was a class act. I've known a few "clubs" started by people I called friends and they have a lot to learn from the Road Devils.

 

Levi was great -- always had a smile and a wrench in his hand!

 

First real time out of the driveway in a long time and it got an AWARD? How cool is that? Seriously, I enjoyed helping, well, watching others work on the truck. It was a fine day for me to discover Alameda!

 

Took a ride with my best friend Sophie, today.

Here's a pic she snapped:



Thanks to everyone who made it possible!

 

It was a great day for a cruise. Glad to see you enjoying the truck!

 

I just got word that Joe has left this world in search of a better place..It was a pleasure to know you,although it was to brief..

Rest Well my friend,see you on the other side

 

That's not the update I was looking for when I saw this thread. Sad. R.I.P.

Yes, Joe died Wednesday at Alameda hospital. I only new him for a short while, but his friendship was monumental. He'll be missed, but I am glad his suffering is over.

On a better note, he did get to enjoy the truck, him and his wife even got their Christmas tree with it.

Rest easy Joe. Roll on brother.

 

I just read the entire thread, I started hoping the last post wasn't headed in this direction...

Bless you guys for helping a brother out.

Thoughts and prayers to Joe's family.

 

Damn, any word of a service or did I miss it?

Strangely enough I was threatening my daughter with Joes line of "APPLE SLICES!!!" on Wednesday when she was getting way out of hand. She musta knew there was a disturbance in the force.

Nicely put...

Roll on Joe.

 

Glad I got to know you a bit, brother. Roll on.

Gonna have a little cry now.

 

The boys, the truck, and Joe (far right):

 

I'll post on here when I find out about services, I haven't heard much from his wife since Wednesday.

All I can say is that I visited with him a week ago at Stanford medical center and he wanted all of you to know that he was truly thankful for every thing we did. He loved driving the truck. We were planning a last cruise at the base, unfortunately it did not happen. I think the thought of it put a big smile on his face though.

The truck will be returning to it's former glory thanks to his uncle in Ozark, Mo.

His screen name fit like a T. Big heart and lots of humor even in such dire circumstance.

 

Thanks, Sean.

 

I second your thoughts.

 

Memorial services for Joe:

Friday June 14th 2013
Neptune Society Columbararium
One Loraine Court
San Francisco, California

From 9am to 11am.

I will be going, if any of you other fellas can make it that would be great. I'll say good-byes for every one who can't.

 

Thanks for the info. I'll try to make it.

 

I opened this thread expecting an update and instead... sadness. My condolences to friends and family. Last time I felt like this was HAMBandy.

Rest in peace, Joe. A true hot rodder.

 

Rest In Peace.

 

Today,I went over to Joe's place to help his widow,Winnie,get the truck loaded up for transport to his uncle..So long Joe,godspeed my friend...

 

Thank you for helping Ed.

I really wish I could have taken Joe on his last cruise like we talked in the hospital, breaks my heart. But I know the thought of it gave him some joy, along with a wonderful loving wife who was beside him all the way through.

Godspeed Joe, roll on.

 

For all those who helped, your a awesome group of guys. It must have been great to know the truck will be seeing happier days in the cruising lanes. RIP

Great job guys.

CRUISER

 

I'm bummed that I missed the memorial today, was planing on showing up ~10A.M. but got sidetracked and the next thing I knew it was 1:30P.M.

Brujo29 Thanks for helping Winnie with the truck.

FWIW I took a few Guinness and Bodddington over to Tim's last weekend and we had several toasts to Joe. I left feeling pretty good afterwards

 

The weather was perfect for cruising and saying good bye.

The size of Joe's heart is matched only by his wife's...

 

Thanks and admiration go out to ALL you guys who stepped up to help someone out and showed others what life really should be about. Tough ending for such a great story. Stand up guys, one and all.

 

I just found this thread
I was hoping after reading that hi was still with us
if I was still in San Rafael I would have towed it to my shop and done the job
I remember seeing that truck around
Prayers for Joe's Family and my condolences
Jim
