Joe,

I'm really sorry to hear about your cancer. As you said it's not the way you wanted to go into retirement! However, one way to look at it is that you're not really retiring.................your just leaving your job at Van's so that you have more time to devote to your other job, which is battling this cancer. And hopefully have more time to do some of the other things you want.

You gave me my first ride in a RV (RV12) back in the spring of 2012 and got me started down the RV path.

Wishing you and your wife the best as you both deal with this present challenge.

Best Regards, Jim

I've been thinking about you a lot and I'm sure that your positive thinking will help into the fight. Tons of prayers, good thoughts, hugs and energy are coming to you, worldwide. Now take your time to win Joe.
I'll stay tuned, praying every day.

ps: I remember when I was in the middle of my 8 building time, avid RVator reader. I saw your face thinking "hey, this guy will help me to finish my plane". And you did.

Joe,

I will pray for your battle. I am sorry that cancer has hit you but grateful it hasn't knocked you down.

Last September you took me up for a demo ride in the 14A and it was one of the most memorable flying days of my life. I gave you a hat and you insisted on making it a trade. You made the factory tour interesting. I could tell you were happy to be a part of such great products. I am sorry you have to set it aside for a while. Get well.

Brian

Default Hang in there and live for the Lord

Joe,

I don't know you personally, but I have seen you at Van's booth at Oshkosh in recent years. Live for the Lord even in these difficult days of your life and leave the rest to God. I pray that God would strengthen you and your wife in going through this situation.

Thank you for all that you have done to Van's RV community.
