FLYBOYJ´s new sortie

[Peter Gunn]

Yeah... still miss him... it still hurts.

Godspeed Joe, fair winds and blue skies, we'll see you on the other side someday, just keep our place at the bar open for us. In the meantime, we'll keep your place open in our hearts.

We're with you, and looking forward to many more years of your posts!

A close friend (and fellow US military veteran) passed unexpectedly in Jan 2022 at 58 years young - I guess the news about FLYBOYJ hit me hard enough to dim my wits... otherwise I would have posted this back in early Feb.

RIP AT2 Chuck Hartley USN(RET) and FLYBOYJ.

And also Warren Zevon, deceased due to cancer 7 September 2003.

Warren Zevon was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in late 2002, this song was the last he ever recorded, and it was released on his final album The Wind, released on 26 August 2003.

This is the video that his daughters played at his memorial service.

A very nice tribute to a man who definately deserved it. RIP.
So sorry to read of J's passing.
He was the first guy here who bothered to comment on my posts.
I always had the feeling he was a very genuine guy and I feel blessed to have had his acquaintance.
Miss ya, Flyboy but I figure you're having the best time in your next life right now.

Just take your Eliquis twice a day and watch your diet. If my wife could come back from something very similar - you can.

It's an unfortunate mistake. I've edited the original post so this is more clear to people who read it.

Agh, Cripes. This is the first time I've been on the forum for months and I'm just finding out Joe has passed away. I never met him, but I liked the cut of his jib. He was a tough mudder, a fighter. This is so sad. My condolences to all of you who knew him and were close to him.

 

[model299]

Damn! Go inactive due to family issues, and come back to find this!

Godspeed FlyboyJ

Fair winds and following seas, Shipmate! The young aviator who draws you for Guardian Angel will be unknowing Always of the source of the good fortune that saves their bacon time and again, but we here in Forum Land will know it's A Man Named Joe.

My nephew passed his Private checkride (flying colors) the day you left us. Quick work, Bro!

Saddened to hear of Joe's passing. My deepest condolences to his family and friends for this terrible loss.

Very sorry to hear about Joe. I was thinking it was OK and getting better until I reached page 6.

Blue skies, Joe.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Get well Joe. Good people are hard to find.

Sorry to tell you Greg but Jo sadly passed on 5 February but "yes" we ALL miss him.

 

[bobbysocks]

He could be pistol especially if you caught his ire but he was a good man at heart with a wealth of knowledge and stories. He will be missed. I have been MIA for a long time with different distractions....hope to make it back here more regularly.

He was a passionate aviation enthusiast like the rest of us and an absolute expert on many elements of aviation. I was shocked to hear of his passing and regret not having spoken with him more often as his comments were a part of what made this forum so special. Joe's passing is a reminder to not take our conversations with each other for granted.

 

[Rocketeer]

So sad to hear of Joes passing. I don't frequent here so much nowadays. Lovely guy.

My Forum Brothers;

I´m reaching out to let you know about a new journey I´m about to take. Several months ago a series of blood clots were found on my calves. Very long story short, my doctors found masses on my liver, pancreas and lungs - not looking too great. I´m supposed to have a biopsy within the next few days to find out what these ¨masses¨ are. Although I´m a hopeless-optimist, I´m preparing for the worse, hoping for the best.

My spirits and fighting will is high and I´m prepared to take on the battle with my four .50s and 20mm blazing. Shit, I was riding my bike just the other day and still work out like I´m in my 40s! I wanted to put this out to you guys before some of you who follow me on ¨FartBook" see it there.

I´ll be around for a while so you guys will just have to continue with my BS! I´ll update accordingly! Czech your 6 and keep the faith!

-FBJ-

edit from the forum team: unfortunately Joe passed away on February 5th

Sad and prayers for your family and loved ones. Im tired of losing friends, being 76, I'm just in in the age where this happens too often.

Unfortunately, Joe passed shortly thereafter my friend.

 

[SaparotRob]

I agree with the sentiment, deeply.
