It is with great sadness and regret that I post: Joseph Phillips OD, aka “BadJoe,” passed away today, November 1, 2012, after a long illness. Joe wanted to hang on until November 7, 2012, but lost his struggle just a few days too early.

Joe was a patriot, a lover of liberty, and an independent-minded gentleman. He leaves behind family, friends, and a loving wife. He will be missed.

RIP BadJoe.

Poster Comment:

I am posting this under the Resistance heading because BADJOE always seemed to be a tireless fighter for liberty and, as far as I could tell anyway, a good and decent man.

He's a friend - thanks much.

RIP BadJoe, put in a good word for the rest of us.

Long ago in another world I called him a friend. His handle should have been GOODJOE.

RIP Joe

Yes, it's been a while ago; but Joe was a patriot and a friend to us all.

I'll miss him.

BadJoe could be a fierce defender of liberty, at times.

That was enough.

RIP Joe. He had a huge hand in making FR the great site it once was.

You're welcome, Lod. I didn't know him personally, just from his posts on FR (a little) and on LP. But with just that to go by I would say that he was the kind of man anyone would be glad to have for a friend.

Yes, that was enough and much more than most people do.

From what I gather he was pretty much a fixture on TOS.

I honestly believe that JimRob's betrayal hurt Joe more deeply than any other original FR poster.

I am sure that it hurt him a lot. He posted on LP after he left FR and you could tell that JR's treatment of him had wounded him very much.
