Joe was great. Sometimes we fought, sometimes we agreed, but you always knew where you stood. That's fair. Even when he was basically telling you (me) what an idiot you were (again, me), he told good stories that sort of diminished the irritation. When we got sideways and I went after him, which was seldom, he never took it personally. Leon's right, he was part of the old guard and there aren't too many of them around anymore. Apart from the fact that he would be absolutely aghast to know that some of his cards had been graded, I hope they do well for his family's sake.
