    I knew Joe slightly from Erlang events. He was very approachable and
    Erlang was a visionary work. His passing comes as a surprise since
    while not young he wasn't exactly elderly, and he seemed quite active
    last time I saw him a couple years ago. I'm saddened that we have lost
    him.

    Fred Hebert wrote a better goodbye to Joe than I possibly could:
