GMC netters,
I learned today that one of our members, Joe Ekl, has passed away.
Joe was one of our most committed members and vendor. Joe was always available
to help anyone of our group that needed it, whether it was correcting a door
lock or making keys( his forte ) or any thing else from dash problems to mechanical issues.
You could always spot Joe and Fran's coach, the black and gold coach sporting
the team colors of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
He will be missed by all and we wish the best and our prayers to Fran and his family.

Aww shoot. I liked Joe a lot. I had heard he had some health problems and missed him at the GMCMI rallies for the past few years. He was a good man. I remember meeting him at my first GMCMI rally and it seemed to me like he made a special effort to make me feel welcome.
Godspeed Joe, Godspeed.

Sorry to hear this. I have a couple sets of his keys from the first two Dothan Conventions. He was a truly nice man who was willing to chat with and help anyone. Thinking of his family at this difficult time.
Thanks,

G'day,
Joe was, as we say Downunder; "Fair Dinkum" (100% genuine), he will be
missed by the community.

Although I never had the privilege of meeting him, it is always sad to lose a member of the community. Prayers for his friends and family.
