Wow... I am truly stunned. I've been kind of indisposed in another country for the last 14 months, so I haven't been on in a while. This is a tough blow to me, as Joe was one of the 1st guys I met on here. May the angels lead the way for you, Joe.

I am stunned.
I feel horrible.
I was a participating member.
Somewhat of a lurker until I found my voice here.
I was here during the Billy Carpenter vs Black & Blue wars.
I went away.
I am stunned that Joe is not here.
I never met the man.
I never debated him in a post.
His volunteering of his time as a mod made this site fair.
That is all we can hope for.
A forum to speak about and for OUR team.
Bye JoeSam.
Damn!
This Sucks!
He was just such a positive force, with a sense of humor to balance anything. I remember him in roll calls, when he got on, you knew you had a party going on! God Bless him and his.
I remember quite a few discussions between himself and I, on numerous topics. It's hard to know what to say about things like this, and that's probably why it took me so long to respond. Good travels Joe. Death is not an end, but just another beginning.

Along with Halo, papz and others, one of the few who made it a point to welcome me to the board.
Though a Saints fan for years, when I first came on it was QB Brooks and Haz. So I'm still new, I suppose. JoeSam had the unique ability to state his opinion and still be that bubble that kept folks on track. Like that level that carpenters use? If we got too far over this way, he brought us back. If we got too far the other way he'd bring it back to center.
That's what I remember. What a great quality.
He was a cornerstone of this blackandgold community.
