Stompin' Joe,
Brother, you will be missed. This world will never be the same without you; it lost a true Warrior Patriot who was willing to stand in the breach. I will miss you, Joe. I cherish all our time together in Bad Toelz, Germany, and beyond while serving with the 10th Special Forces Group. I will always remember a mountain of a man doing the Stompin' Joe dance, I cannot remember the name of the song, but watching you dance to it was hilarious........I will miss that.
My brother, friend, and teammate, God Bless You. God Bless Your Family. And, God Bless America. Thank you, Joe, for always being real. I will miss you.

Knew him first at Holston Valley. Learned he lived over the ridge from my granny.
I remember he had his aging dogs cremated and wanted them buried with him.
