Used to see him at the arcata cannon shoots, had no idea he was anywhere near that old. The man was a wealth of information and  a good guy to shoot with.

He helped get me into BP mortars and cannons and was a good friend. RIP Joe!
 
A friend told me that there is going to be a Memorial Day shoot in Oregon and they will shoot in Joe's memory!
