Rob Not Bob Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 RIP Joe, for some reason I was thinking of Tony Williams last night as a great fusion guy we lost too soon. Sad that now Joe is joining him, although 75 is a pretty good long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
