skymama 37 #13 March 17, 2004 Joe was one of those guys who started jumping when parachutes were made out of wood and had thousands of jumps. I believe he was about 60. I saw him at the dz on Saturday and got a big hug from him. He didn't seem any different than usual. Joe will definitely be missed in Deland.

Suits, helmets, alti's, he was happy to help a young girl out. See ya on the flip side Joe, I will have a hug and a kiss waiting for you.
