Hello Cindy,
Joe was a great guy and I think of him very often. We conversed a lot by email mostly. He was exceptionally knowledgeable but mostly he was just plain helpful with all of his knowledge.
While talked about many things and even disagreed over several issues he was always willing to listen, even to things he disagreed with.
Most of all he helped me build my first custom rifle. He sold me the receiver and made sure it was tuned up just right. He recommended some folks for other parts of the rifle as well. At one time, I counted 15 people who had a role in making this rifle happen. It may only be a .22 but it is, by far, my favorite rifle and I use it in matches and for hunting. I'll attach a few pictures.
For certain, Joe is one of those people I really really miss. He was a heck of a good guy.
Sincerely,
Brent Danielson
