Apr. 28th, 2009 09:51 pmto those that lived, and shopped in the Castro, and that may know Joe Hardegree, this was just received via Mama, Mama's Family email....
Tribe, I rec'd this from Doug Mezzacapo
To everyone who knows Joe Hardegree:
Joe has been fighting a rare form of cancer for several months now. He has been in and out of the hospital to undergo aggressive chemo therapy. Unfortunately, the chemo has not worked. Any further treatment has a low chance of making a difference, so Joe has decided to face his death with dignity. He believes that he only has a few weeks left.
I know Joe values the love of his friends and you all have given him strength to battle. Now, it's time to give him strength to face the end.
He is going home from the hospital soon. If you have his number, he enjoys receiving calls. But, he is not always up to talking, so please leave him a message. If you want to send him a card, feel free to drop it off at 440 with David Barker the manager.
Joe was working at 440 and Chaps before his illness.He has always been up beat and quick with a joke. Everyone who met him, enjoyed his personality. Let's return his warmth and love.
