I have never posted in this thread before, but I have read through it many times. Such a sad and touching story.
R.I.P. Joe.
I hope Tracy and the rest of your loved ones are doing well. |

It is reassuring to know that the fight that Joe lost his life to is being fought ever more fiercely, and that a bill was just signed into law last month (1/3/13) that helps pancreatic cancer research with a goal to finally have an early detection test for this deadly disease. Any effort to increase pancreatic cancer's disturbingly low survival rate is a noble one.
We still miss you, Joe. |

Thank you Ditch. Every Friday I still listen to the last song he had on his Myspace the day he passed.
Sublime - "Amber"
As Ditch said brother Joe.......We still miss you!!!

I think Joe would be really excited about how next years team is shaping up.
For those of you wondering about Tracy. She remarried and just had her first child on March 6th. She and the baby are doing great. |

In my 5 years here, Ive never ventured into this part of the world. It wasnt until tonight that I did. I knew of the story of Joe from my years here, and I knew of his courage, and the amazing job of this dedicated forum, but it wasnt until now that I truly knew the impact that he had here.
The guys in the Browns fanbase are some of the best posters on this site. I always look forward talking to them, no matter the topic. I know that their knowledge, and love for their team is embedded in them, much like it was with you. Although you have left us, I know you left an impact on them, and from now on, I will be thinking of you every time I get the pleasure to discuss anything on this forum with them.
I hope you are at peace, and are looking down on us while we discuss trivial things like the draft.
God Bless

Thanks for the update, Dave. It kind of gives a sense of closure to know that Crakburn's girl is being loved, cared for, and protected.
I wish all the best for her with her new family.
God Bless. _________________
