    Joe would always come to my tournaments early in the morning with his team.  Back in the day, I was a LOT less organized and franctically running around like a chicken with my head cut off.  Joe would always stop me, put his hand on my shoulder, and say, "Hey Man...you looked stressed, is everything ok?  I rather not referee today, but if you need me, you know I'm here for you."  

    Every show, he always ended up refereeing, getting me volunteers, and calming me down when I needed it the most.  At the last minute, Joe jumped in as a referee (after bolting from a seminar) for SportFighting, when Eddy Rolon, our other referee needed to coach his guys.  He literally jumped out of his seat, threw on a Black T-Shirt and jumped in the ring.  He was my reason for meeting so many great people including: Marco Perazzo, Jared Weiner, Rick Macauley, Brad Court, Rick and Phil Migliarese, Pat Stano, Dan Haney, Tim Carpenter and the rest of the Philly/South Jersey crew.  He was one of those people who took time to get to know you and his only intentions were to help others.  I feel like one of the luckiest people in the world to have been able to share so much time with such a great person.

    WTF is up with BJJ and cancer? Ive known so many BJJ players to lose or battle cancer. Is there a connection? Twisting joints, poping fluids into the body. sweat from others or is this just a coincidence?

    Not trying to start anything, but I just notice that we are losing a lot of brothers to cancer.

    I'm looking right now at my U.S. Grappling Association membership card.  I'm amazed that I still have this.... This was one of the first submission grappling tournaments I ever did.  It was an awesome experience, and I know Joe was the driving force behind that success.
    I got into the game a little late, so I never got to know Joe well, but the people I love and trust always speak well of Joe, and I know he will be missed.
    Rest in peace, Joe, and know that you will be remembered well.
