I’m so sorry for your loss! I just found out about Joe tonight. Thoughts & prayers to his family.
Joe had a nickname. I used to call him Creek Chub. Not really sure how that got started. Probably because he knew the creeks we fished together as well as the fish did. He had a nickname for me too, It was Weez. Joe and I were fishing buddies, and he was one of the best anglers I knew. In his younger days, he was hands down the best at tying flies I’ve ever met. Anyways, Joe and I were supposed to go fishing one weekend in February. Probably on the Maries river for small mouth. We had recently met and fished together a few times. I was going to school at Mizzou and had a girlfriend who lived in Warrensburg. Valentines day fell on a Saturday that year and I hadn’t realized it when Joe and I made our plans. I bailed out on our fishing trip and went to Warrensburg. The next week I stopped in to see Joe. He met me with a smile and said, “you weaseled on our fishing trip”. Joe had a good smile, kind of like a cat that just ate a canary. He forgave me, but for twenty years afterwards I was known to Joe only as Weez, for weaseling out of that Valentines day fishing trip.
Joe had his struggles in life like most of us do. He was a very good friend to me. We drifted apart over time but usually talked once in a while. So many good memories fishing, camping, and laughing together when we were young. I miss you Joe.
Your ole friend,
Weez
