He really embraced the life he had-- I'm so glad he got to do his road trips & especially glad you all did the big cross country trip with the grandkids. He loved being able to do that & share with the kids the joy of the journey. He seized the day when he had the time. It was even heartwarming to read his last blog post-- him & you (Barb) making the best of a hospital stay by having a good laugh over the food. It was a glimpse of the friendship/marriage you two had. I'm glad he was honored & you are surrounded by people who are loving & caring. The gathering of those who paid respects sounds like just what he would have wanted, Food, friends, real feelings. In his profile, Joe wrote " All I really desire is when you hear that I have passed, I hope you can say, "Too bad, he was a nice guy."<br />So I am saying it, and genuinely --<br />"Too bad, he was a nice guy."<br />Not much else to say. Be good to each other. You just have to allow yourself to feel your feelings & surround yourself with people who understand. ~ Fran (Oregon)Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807994396764212014.post-24180847692366629222013-12-20T15:14:14.785-08:002013-12-20T15:14:14.785-08:00That is lovely, dear Mrs. Spado.

I'm honoured to be so privileged. And I'm sad for the space in each of us that won't be the same.<br />It's a painful gap in our lives, when we lose our earthy connection with someone so loved by us. And he was so well loved...and he loved well(even thought he might not have always thought so).<br />I send prayers of thanksgiving for having had the privilege to share in just a wee bit of Mr. Spadoman's life. And I just know he's huggin' that kiddo like crazy.<br />Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14408403855260279799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807994396764212014.post-49451790955949776342013-12-17T09:40:04.883-08:002013-12-17T09:40:04.883-08:00Feeling honored, Barb, to be able to read this let...Feeling honored, Barb, to be able to read this letter to Joe.

It's good to know the fires were tended and offerings have been made in his honor. We never got to meet in life, but there is another where we'll all meet in joy and harmony.<br /><br />I wish you, Barbara, and all your family and friends the very best.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807994396764212014.post-6378086003327053862013-12-16T10:52:00.710-08:002013-12-16T10:52:00.710-08:00Fare thee well, Joe.
