A true ambassador of love and friendship. So glad I had the good fortune to meet you. I will think of you when new brothers and sisters join our klan and I will try to follow your example.

And I promise to use the search function.

Blessing upon you and your family.

Smooth sailing brother...

To me this picture sums up the Joel I knew. He always was ready to share a laugh and wherever he went he was the heart and soul of our group. This picture was taken at the AOTY awards in 2008. If you look closely you'll see his "man van" in the background, and anybody who ever hung out with Joel knows what that apron was all about.  :smt003

Since I moved to Idaho I haven't seen Joel in a little over two years, but I'm still sad today knowing he's passed and I won't get to see him the next time I visit the Bay Area.

Searching is half the fun: life is much more manageable when thought of as a scavenger hunt as opposed to a surprise party. -Jimmy Buffett

So Sad.....  :smt010

Was thinking of you last night hoping you were going to make the HOW event at San Pablo...

  Going to miss you Brother, but will NEVER forget....

 The world and the Universe is a better place because of of you...

      and I'm sure your on Calm Seas now...   :smt004

  RIP Mooch...

 



 Does anyone know how to get a sizable " Mooch Strong " Flag made?

It would be nice to have a few made to fly at all HOW events and NCKA functions...

  If not, I'll check into it...
