Joe's gone now. We were friends. He was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of bodybuilding and bodybuilding history. I mean crazy knowledgeable- way beyond me or any actual bodybuilder I ever knew. He knew things like--what song Jon Brown posed to in the 1983 Nationals-how much Chris Cormier weighed in the 1990 California-the top 5 light-weights in the 1992 North American ChampionshipsJust really bizarre things to know about bodybuilding. My friend Jason Mathis (the bodybuilding photographer and writer) lived with Joe for a few months when he first moved to California. He gave me bizarre reports. I'm going to leave it at that.
