crocodile 8,372 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 I missed this piece of news. Thank you for letting us know, Stefan. Joe was a force of nature and one of the most memorable members of this forum. One of my most vivid memories of this forum was reading a moving tribute to his late previous partner. That really stayed with me, even though I never got to meet the man. His online persona might have been brash and grumpy but his soul was deep and pure. And he always spoke his mind, a trait quite rarely encountered these days. He will be missed. 😞 Karol Edmilson and Jay 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan Cosman Oh my god, that's right. I remember being so annoyed when he said stuff like "Least Crusade," because it seemed childish--never mind that I was literally a child. Now I can appreciate how funny he was, and how his unique brand of film score criticism shaped my own perspective. Jay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis 2,758 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I never knew him, but seeing how much he meant to everyone here on the forum, and his love for the score to E.

tomsmoviemadness 3,423 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Very sorry to hear about his passing. I'm going through a great loss myself at the moment, so I feel for his family and loved ones. I think I've only communicated a few times with Joe on here some years back, but it was always a joy. You could feel the passion he had for the music. Much love and comfort to all who knew him deeply. Groovygoth666, Edmilson and Davis 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 4,966 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Is Joe the first community member (that we are aware of, at least) to pass away? I just checked my profile to see when I joined--2007, but I was an avid follower of the site from The Phantom Menace days. I remember Joe's post from nearly the beginning. Crazy how time flies, particularly for us "senior" members. How cool, though, for Joe that one of his passions, John's music, was there throughout so much of his life and even new music all the way to the end.

Popular Post Jay 38,847 Posted May 22 Popular Post Share Posted May 22 I have to imagine that other forum members have passed away for sure, but I can't recall ever knowing about any before Joe. The older you go back into the forum, the less likely it was for people to share their real names, and the forum started long before social media existed, so we'll never know what happened to a lot of original members I think. #SnowyVernalSpringsEternal, Brando and Naïve Old Fart 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Nick1Ø66 5,615 Posted May 22 Popular Post Share Posted May 22 I didn't interact with him much personally that I can recall, and if I did we probably disagreed. But I do remember how much Joe loved Ben's Death and TIE Fighter Attack, which was the first piece of JW's music I truly fell in love with. When music like that moves you so much, you surely must have a beautiful soul. This is Saying Goodbye, Joe. Godspeed. If John William's music is all any of us have in common, it's enough.

I've seen a number of deaths over the years at FSM, but this is definitely the first one I've heard of here too. Joeinar definitely had his opinions! And they were strong. But that is what made him great and interesting to read. He wasn't influenced by others' opinions and thoughts, he was uniquely his own. In later years it was always cool to see him resurface from time to time. I wish all the best to him and his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groovygoth666 940 Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Sorry to hear that Joeinar has passed and my thoughts go out to his loved one's. Reading the comments in this thread from the longer members of the board of the overall positive impact Joe had here, even those mentioning that they disagreed with him and had let's say passionate discussions, as well as newer members like myself who can't recall having direct conversations coming together to express their condolences to the loss of one of our own really shows what a beautiful community we have here in this little corner of the Internet.

Popular Post Mr. Breathmask 566 Posted July 22 Popular Post Share Posted July 22 I'm sorry to be so very late to this, but I only just saw it. It's hard to put into words how it feels to learn about the passing of someone you've never met, but who has nevertheless been a part of your formative years as a JW fan and a teenager. Bloody hell, we're all getting old. Heartfelt condolences to Joe's husband and relatives and everyone else who was touched by him. R.I.P. Joe, you old lovable crank.
