March 25th 2011

I have just received the news of the tragic death of Joe Jackson who for a time served with me in the scrutiny section of Prov 3 in PSCO. He was also a good " telephone pal " of John Bassel who passed this sad news on to me. Joe was involved in a car accident in early February, possibly as a result of the massive heart attack that he suffered at the time. Joe always supported me in running this website and contributed much to it`s content.

Our thoughts go to Joe`s wife and family for their sad loss.
