New to the forums... saw this post, brought me a smile.
Joe and my grandma grew up together in Dover, NJ. Our families have been close for a while. I was lucky enough to have taken some cartooning classes at Joe's school (it was a cold trailer on a lawn) in the early 90s, and have befriended Andy and Adam and their wives and children by visiting their art store and buying comics there every week. All of the Kuberts are fantastic people, truly a blessed family -- extraordinarily talented and creative, and very down to earth.
I was saddened when Joe died. The comic world really lost a legend. RIP
