I loved that guy. Always ready to help with a problem, and protected the site like a junkyard dog. He reminded me of my step father-in-law - ornery an opinionated, but a heart of gold. I shed more tears when Grampa Ken died than all of my grandparents and my mom & dad. I loved them all, but Ken had that uniqueness that MJ had. It’s a big loss and we’ll miss him.

Agree with all that was said above. The Macojoe days were the golden days of WellcraftV20. Never got to meet him but we spoke over the phone a couple of times. As you guys know he was going through a lot with health issues between him and his wife. Even though he is gone I still feel the all-seeing "eyeball" around here.

I didn't know him personally but felt like I knew him well from the way he handled himself here. Sincerely sorry to his family for his loss.

Are there boats in paradise? There must be or else it wouldn't be paradise.

Happy boating and tight lines, MJ.

Never met him, but he was a key part of this forum. i came along a little late to the party from the hey day of this site, MJ was still in charge, with plenty of other characters to add to the entertainment. He will be missed.

Big Shrimpin, good to see your still around

Unhappy

Not much to say that hasen't allready been said. He was a friend to all of us and It's sad to see him go. Tight lines and fair winds Joe. May you walk with God forever. Rest in peace my brother.

Has anyone heard from Chumbucket?

R.I.P . Sadly we only stay on earth for a very short time and the time he was here he made a lot of friends. Sad to hear that. .
