Early this year, Joe traveled from Spokane, Wash., to reestablish his residency in Leicester, Vt., to attend a Criminology & Restorative Justice program at Northern Vermont University. Friends, family, and acquaintances share a deep loss of this wonderful individual who lived life fully, gave freely and, accomplished so much in the time he spent on this planet. We remain inspired by Joe’s artistic unconventionality and contagious enthusiasm. One of Joe’s social media sites states simply that he loved “coffee, Kerouac, Johnny Cash and camping; in that order.” Joe jammed at the Spokane Fall Folk Festival, was photographed in the center of a student crowd protesting gun violence, played Harry Bailey in a 2019 “It’s a Wonderful Life” at the Spokane Civic Theater. He attended callbacks in Spokane and Seattle for a lead part in a film for a major motion picture studio.
