Friends of Snoop_Dogg

This is horribly tragic. God bless Snoop, his daughter and the family.

I don't get to visit here all that often, but I know this board has lost some treasured friends in recent years -- mihm_rules, Loree, Snoop. ... Have there been others?
 
If y'all can set up a fund using paypal that can take an automatic monthly payment like hornfans does with their subscription, i would definitely do $10 a month towards it. $10 is nothing. you don't even notice it gone from your account. but a bunch of $10's can add up to be meaningful.
 
Ugh. Our tailgating group had just been talking about helping out his family not more than a week ago, and I was looking forward to maybe finally getting a chance to meet him come August.

Like an earlier poster said, it seemed like Joe had a very positive attitude about his fight and had one of the strongest wills I've ever seen. And I think he'd probably take the positive outlook even on something as horribly crushing as this, being thankful that he got to do the things he did and that he had such a wonderful family during his time here on Earth.

Prayers for his wife and two sons as they continue on. This family has already been through way too much. Al and Jimmyjazz, please let us know when funds are established to help them out.
 
Man, I remember joemojica and Mother Russia from the old days and did not know Snoop was the same guy. Obviously I didn't know him, but judging by the responses here, he must have been a helluva friend, so my thoughts go out to all of you that have lost a friend.

It's amazing how, over the years on Hornfans, I can remember so many people who have died that I never even met, but somehow feel a conection with. It's odd how the internet can alternately disconnect you from your immediate social structure, yet create an entirely new one that you don't really sense until something like this happens.

Damn. Guy beats cancer and gets hit by a car. That just isn't fair. Prayers for the family. He's in a better place, I'm sure, but it still doesn't help the pain of his loss.
 
Thanks for all the kind words.

I've had a night to sleep on it and it still hasn't really sunk in. I watched Jeanie grow up for almost 5 years. I'm gonna miss her. She was so cute and had such a beautiful disposition. She was a joy to be around.

I was just thinking about a fund raiser for the family. I hope to talk to Elana soon. It's really hard to pick up the phone and call after talking to her last night 5 minutes after she found out about the accident.

Just horrible news! I can't believe it! I remember those pictures from the other thread. When I read the first post I immediately thought back to those. May God be with his family right now ... Prayers extended ...

I only "knew" of him from HF but I was thinking I hadn't seen any posts from him in a while and wondered how he was doing in his fight w/ cancer.

Good God, how tragic....RIP and prayers for his wife and sons.
 
wow.

stuff like this makes you realize how precious life is. i never met snoop, but i always enjoyed everything he had to say.

This is really really horrible news. I feel so sorry for his wife and sons. Nothing else in their life will ever be as hard to deal with as this. RIP Snoop.
 
I'm in for a good chunk of change. I've been incredibly blessed, despite my complaints. I think a family such as his could use all the help they can get. If organized, I'll pitch in.
 
I'm floored. Shared some back and forth. I was always impressed by his strength and love for his family.
 
Horribly tragic, after all the family has already endured!

Please do let us know about a fundraiser on this thread, or sticky a new one. We want to do what we can.
 
I've been staying away from this thread for a couple of reasons, but I'd like to at least mention that there are some wheels turning behind the scenes to get something big off the ground. I am going to defer to a couple of other closer friends of Joe's as far as organization of effort is concerned, as they can probably touch more of our common friends, but regardless, there are some other ideas floating about to help Elana and the boys, and I promise we are going to swing for the fences or go down trying. PM for details.
 
ugh. this really sucks. i never knew the guy aside from HF, but what a shame. prayers and thoughts will be with him and his.

I followed his posts with a great deal of interest because his health problems were very similar to my own and I admired his love of snakes. Never really interacted with him aside from reading what he had posted here, but he seemed like a great guy. This is absolutely terrible.
 
He had spirit. True courage and guts. I used to read his posts and wonder how he did it, being familiar with what cancer does to the human physic and psyche. He had the sort of fight we wish we could bestow on all our patients. I never felt the cancer had a chance at touching him where it mattered most. I told him how much I admired him once--he replied back with genuine with thanks that I thought enough to send him a PM about his situation. The sincerity and gratitude of it embarrassed me. I had not done much, just written a few words. I just read his reply again and I don't know how to convey how much it means to me.
I would be more than happy to help in a more tangible manner, this time, with the family he left behind. I really like po's idea, but whatever you guys come up with please let us know ASAP.

Thanks.
 
Man, I remember a few summers back when I "met" JE and his wife on hornfans. We, and a couple others (Gardner Barnes, Longhorn Al and I think there were a couple more) would chat via MSN messenger late nights during the week.

JE was nothing but nice to me and very fun to talk to. Sucks to hear this. He talked about his kids all the time.

Thoughts are with his wife and the kids.
 
I've just been on the phone with Elana, Joe's wife. I'm not sure what information I can share re: donations to Elana on this website. But there are some really good people on this site trying to set something up for everyone to access. Hopefully we can let y'all know soon.

She's doing as well as can be expected. There's been a time set for a service, but I'll ask her if she wants that to be public information. She's very strong and we're all going to help her and the boys get through this.

Thanks everyone.

Wow, seeing the pictures he posted of himself and his daughters is getting me choked up...

I too never met the guy, but I remember reading his snake-loving posts and all about his battles with ulcerative colitis...

My prayers go out to his family, how horrible...
 
I just paid him the best tribute I could come up with. smoked a partagas serie d no. 4...the very first cigar I gifted him. I remember how grateful he was when I surprised him with it at a game.
