You are Missed!
You don't see me write here often. In fact, I make it a habit not too! Ever read some of the stuff I've written in the past? no? Good it's horrible...Don't.
Wednesday November 15th, I saw a post on FB from his girlfriend saying goodbye at first, I thought it was a joke then I realized it wasn't, Joe passed away I can't still fully wrap my head around it. he died at home It was unexpected he either had the flu or covid and complications from the virous took this big man out.
We met at SVA I was a freshman he was a couple of years older we lived in the same dorm.
I never met anyone like him.
I have to thank Joe, he pushed me to be better take risks with my art he showed me inking and so on... he loved Rock and Roll, Godzilla, he also played a mean bass.
I miss you! Thank you for a friendship that lasted across so many years.
