Thanks Joe for many, many years of helping me enjoy the Reds from miles away. RIP.

Always makes me smile.....
I am so sad. Joe was a part of my life. RIP Joe!
I get it, I did the same thing a few times this summer.
Joe's voice would take me back to the days of my childhood when I had nothing but time to listen to the game. His voice could make me feel the warmth of sunshine, smell the fragrance of the grass, and see the dust flying on a play at the plate.
Joe seemed to always enjoy the game regardless of the outcome, and if the home team lost today, he just knew we'd get 'em tomorrow.
As if that wasn't enough by itself, he was a obviously a good friend, a good neighbor, a good husband, a good father, and a solid citizen.
RIP Joe.

Oh man ..... I shouldn't have watched that netcast at work. *big sniffles*

Sean Casey on with Willy and Seg right now on 700 WLW.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
Reds website has it. http://cincinnati.reds.mlb.com/cin/f...ll_tribute.jsp
When all is said and done more is said than done.
I purposely avoided most of the news because I'd be crying all day... and just reading the posts on this thread I'm welling up. I don't know if Butler County, or the cities of Hamilton and Fairfield have flags - but they should be flying half mast...
As a native Hamiltonian from the west side, this is truly a sad day.

RIP Joe, you'll be missed
Go Gators!
I'd like to get the clip of the entire "Star of the Game" conversation from his very last time in 2004. He had Marty as the star and they just talked about all the memories. And then that sign off.....man, that was something I'm proud to have had the opportunity to listen to.
And I'd definitely head over to the park today/tonight. Seems like many are over there. On the noon news, 700 had a live report from the ballpark.
And Austin Kearns is on with Willy now.
700 is really doing an awesome job today with the guests and coverage. That interview they played between Joe and Bob Trumpy during the 11 AM hour was great.
