Wow, +1 for getting choked up here (or +160 at this point) Everyone has pretty much said it all for you here. My thoughts & prayers are with you and hopes that the docs are wrong - wouldn't be the first time. Treat every day as your last and you could have a few great decades head of you

Ride on

Joe, you got me beat by a mile.

I'll never live as full a life as you have...

Whatever the future brings, take comfort in the fact that you did it the right way and are truly admired for it.

God Bless

As many have already said, Joe you are an example of how to live your life. Not much thatI can add to this post other than God Bless you and your family during this very difficult time. My prayers and thoughts will be with you for a long to to come. As someone has already mentioned, you have made me reflect and take stock of what is important in life. Many of us really do not give the old cliche a second thought of "life is short" until something happens.

OK everyone.

I've been in contact with Joe by PM's today and he wanted me to lock this thread so it can fall to the bottom and out of sight. He wants to be able to check on the forum from time to time without reading about himself. I will honor his request.
