No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.

I write to let others know that JoeMac died here in Hawaii about a week ago. He had been living well right up until a massive brain hemorrhage caught him unexpectedly while at home. He and his wife were involved in the community in many ways so I know she'll have good support going forward. Thanks to all on this site who were also a part of Joe's community of friends.
JoeMac was a good man, very generous with his advice and not a harsh bone in his body. We had been through similar ops, Joe and I, and kept in touch through fora for PCa and urostomates. I am saddened to lose another ally, but that seems to happen all the while with passing years. At least he survived PCa and bladder problems didn't get him either. Aloha, JoeMac, my friend. Rest In Peace.
I talked to Joe many times on the forum and found him to be a very nice man. I lost my brother June 10 to a massive brain hemorrhage, he just fell over at his home and never recovered. Aloha Joe... And God Bless you and your family.
