Remembering

"Moonflowers"
highfire enamels and sandblast etching









I want to take a moment to remember a good friend of ours. His name was Joe. He passed away last Friday. I sent a note to his sister and Mother which said, "Sometimes, if we are lucky, someone comes into our life that will forever occupy a special place. Joe was such a man. He was one-of-a-kind. His quick wit, boisterous laugh, the twinkle in his eyes when he was up to mischief, and his boyish charm can never be replaced. He was a good and true friend - brutally honest when necessary, but with a tender heart and a generous spirit not easily matched. His friends knew of the love he had for his family - and he loved all of God's creatures but especially his dogs. Let us take comfort as we remember the unique and special relationship we had with him. While the mention of his name may bring tears to our eyes, memories of him will bring a smile to our heart. "
We will miss you, old friend.
