I miss Joe. We were great friends, I DJ’d for him, and I was his drummer for a number of years. When he moved out to California, it was almost an annual event that wherever I was playing around Christmas time he would just show up at the gig unannounced when he was back in town and it became a really funny joke. I absolutely miss him dearly. Happy birthday in heaven Joe.

Uncle Jack was a good man and gave me the best memories of my life. He impacted my life deeply, although I only hung out with him for three days. It was the best three days of my life. I was hoping to invite him to my someday wedding and hoped he come. I wish I got to see him again.

July 16th, 2019

On a full moon, I met Joe "Uncle Jack" when I was 21 years old, alone on vacation and I was blind, because I was cleaning my glasses. I remember seeing a tall blurry man possibly dressed as a pirate which he was. I was still blind when I went up to him and the first words I said to him were "wait... no!" He did his Jack Sparrow routine and I wasn't disappointed. I was internally fangirling. I had two dollars in cash inside my pocket and I had the unbelievable courage to ask him, "if I gave you two dollars, would you let me hang out with you all night?"

He says, "I get off at eleven, would you be able to wait then?" I stood there talking to him and actually helped take pictures for other people. I got the good angles, no bright lights ruining the picture.

When eleven rolled around, I had the two dollars in hand and said "here ya go!" I can remember him saying "you don't have to give me two dollars." I told him to keep it.

We went on the Ferris wheel together and he was sword fighting the worker there. I actually got on for free, because I had my wrist band, but totally forgot that it expired after eleven, but they let me on anyways. Just me and him on the Ferris wheel and literally no on else was on it. I felt like I was in a indie movie. It was so cool.

I actually remember him asking me how old I was to see if I was old enough to get into a bar, I told him I was 21 and had my ID ready. I had to go to the bathroom and when I walked out he was surrounded by people. He pointed directly to me and motioned for me to come over.

He told everyone I paid him two dollars to hang out with him all night. I remember him saying at one point, "I feel like a two dollar hooker." Literally the best two dollars I ever spent. We even got into the photo booth. I dated the picture on the back and had them put the picture on "the wall of shame."

I remember him saying, "congratulations, we're on the wall of shame." This was at the bearded clam. Never in my life have I ever felt so important or just had a good time. It was so much fun.

We went to the Purple Moose and I think at one point it was actually dead. Not a lot of people were there. Well considering it was a week day. I met all the people he knew, they were all so nice.
It was his idea for me to be his niece, because he didn't want anyone to bother me.

At three in the morning, he walked me to the bus and I asked if I could hang out with him again. I didn't pay him again. I wanted to hang out with him so badly. He was the coolest guy I ever met.

July 17th, 2019

Funniest part, I remember the next night I had drank tequila and almost started a bar fight. Sorry, Uncle Jack. We left the Bearded Clam and I was still ranting, but he was like "let it go." We started to sing "Let It Go" from Frozen, down the boardwalk to The Purple Moose. I told him I had to go pee. He said, "you can go pee at The Purple Moose, but you can't pee on the moose."

I remember behaving the entire night, because I didn't want to upset him. I met his friends again and they were so nice. I wish I could go back in time and just give him a hug and thank him for looking out for me.

My last night there was July 19th, 2019

We went to the Jamaica Seacrets, he showed me around and I met new people again. Of course, 3 A.M. came and it was closing time. I'll never forget how he smiled at me when I said "of course, I want to say goodbye to everyone!"

I absolutely adored him. I thought we were gonna be friends for life. I had imagined him coming to my wedding one day whenever that happened. I would have been so excited to see him.

My favorite moment with him was always the times we'd glance at each other and communicate every time something stupid or ridiculous happened.

I learned about the atmosphere effects the moon color depicting hot it's going to be tomorrow, also heat lightening. I didn't even know about heat lightening.

I think he loved to watch the color go out of a man's face when they harassed us on the boardwalk and he would so quickly say, "that's my niece!" Oh yeah, he got satisfaction of watching grown men's faces go pale.

He has impacted my life so wonderfully, I will never forget the memories of us or his blue eyes. He was a good man and hysterical. My mom had talked to him on the phone when I went missing, but I was in the museum and had no signal. I was lucky to meet him and I'm glad I had. My last words to him were, "I'm gonna miss you so much."
