Rest in Peace, Joe Rein

And I'll continue to enjoy reading his output, and enjoying "The Laws of Physics" presentation he hosted and linked me to, where RJJ-Ruiz was previewed, so we can see and hear him for himself. A loss like this can only follow a big gain, and he left us plenty to return to, time and again. For all that, as well as the numerous personal post and PM interactions, many thanks.:good

 

Great poster who will be missed.Loved seeing his posts on meeting SRR at the gym as a youth.Had no idea he was in that deep of shape.R.I.P Joe, you will truly be missed.

 

I love/loved reading what burt and John post/posted.

I'm very sad to hear of this. He's in the great ring in the sky now.

RIP. Great guy who commanded respect without even trying. I will miss his stories.

 

This is so sad

 

I saved a bunch of quotes from joe ill post em here sometimes

 

Legend of the online boxing world and tremendous man in general, some great stories to tell and when we have spoken through private messages he was just so damn charismatic.
Rest in peace my old friend.

 

Residing nearby in Battery Park,next to his beloved Brooklyn,I pestered Joe on many occaisions when he was going to visit his hometown so I could show him how Flatbush and other neighbourhoods in Brooklyn that had changed since he was last here.I also wanted him to show me the old haunts and famous gyms now long gone.
Although he so wanted to his health wouldn't allow it.RIP Joe and thanks for the memories and sharing your stories.:thumbsup

 

Rest in peace John, you were a classy guy and a great poster. Couldn't help reading a thread once I saw you'd posted in it. The way you described things was second to none, Thank you for sharing all your first hand experiences with the boards.

 

I did a tribute for Joe Rein. It's called "Joe" and it turned me inside out...

Damn, that piece had me choking back a few. I think Joe would be most pleased, and touched. I was.
