We have been crying all day. And we have been reminiscing about all our times with Joe. He was such a funny person and he was so full of life. He could do the best impressions of characters from MAD TV. He was always making us laugh. I think I am still in shock about the whole thing. And I know Ryan blames himself for the crash. He lost his best friend.
