Joe and I sat on opposite sides of the fence in politics (and agreed not to talk about such things) but books were our passionate subject of discussion. We only saw each other infrequently but he was kind enough to let me know he had put me in his new book. And he knew darn well I would carry it then even though I don't generally do ;thrillers. I loved talking (arguing) with him and I'll miss him a lot. I was just hit upside the head with the news of Joe’s death.

I’m not going to pretend I knew Joe real well; both Mike the Musicologist and Lawrence knew him better than I did. I basically just saw Joe every year at Armadillocon, and the occasional convention in between. But he was always happy to see me, and I was glad to see him around. When Bringing Back the Dead came out, I thought it was a pretty spiffy book, and I’m glad I had a chance to tell Joe that. I don’t know why he seemed stunned by that; after all, the truth is the truth. You can’t have opinions about the truth.

Books don’t fly today on thier paper wings
And Stefnal muses in muted tones sing
I will mourn among Joe-acquired treasures
And my endless shelves are sadder in their measure

A great guy, may he Rest as he needs and Move as he wills.

]]> Comment on Armadillocon 32 Photos (Part 2) by brainshades http://www.lawrenceperson.com/?p=2248&cpage=1#comment-1868 brainshades Sat, 04 Sep 2010 02:12:24 +0000 http://www.lawrenceperson.com/?p=2248#comment-1868 I noticed you mentioned Joe Domenici's comments about "Mr. Shivers". Not sure how many folks will be reading the comments section since this photos post is a few days old, but Joe died on Tuesday. He'd been in the hospital the week of ArmadilloCon with pneumonia and only checked out of the hospital to come by and have dinner with a couple of us Saturday night. He was not feeling well and didn't stay long, and didn't eat much. We expected him to come by the 'Con on Sunday, but I think his absence now speaks volumes as to how ill he really was. We're assuming he had a setback with the pneumonia or possibly an underlying condition that was aggravated by the illness, but it would be helpful to know what happened to him in the last few days before he died. The obituary was less than informative and the funeral home said a memorial was possibly being planned for a later date. If anyone has any information, I would appreciate it if they could pass it along. Thanks. -Arnie Hamilton brainshades@gmail.com I noticed you mentioned Joe Domenici’s comments about “Mr. Shivers”.
