Was hoping he would be off the bottle, The guy really has a lot of heart. Some great stories too. Used to have a lot of laughs with him.

I think I would like to share 1 of many stories with Jumpin Joe.
Ok so we are at this Canadian Championships Mens Teams 8ball turny. Joe runs out every rack all day. In one he breaks the balls and smashes his nuckles on the table. Blood is dripping pretty good. What does he do? No he doesnt grab a napkin. He decides to paint war blood paint on his face in between his shots as he runs out again. There had to be 50 people watching and with his antics they all had tears in their eyes with laughter.
Keep in mind , Joe wasnt laughing. He was serious. It was war. When he came back to the table he was breathing like he just came out of the ring , then explained to his new found backer (me) that every match I get him it will be war.And sure enough I never lost a dime on that guy.

Yes at times he was a warrior and other times the opposite.
Here is another,
So we are at the local pool hall and I get a call from a local bar.My buddy the owner calls me up and says this guy is their and wants to play anyone in the house for $100 a game. 8 ball bar box. We race across town go to the bar, watch this 6foot6 biker dude shooting his mouth off. After watching him shoot 2 balls i look at joe and he is transforming himself into a complete loser in seconds. He flips his hat half sideways. droops his pants, lifts his shirt over his beer belly, and walks the walk to the table. Joe lets this guy to the table while missing shot after shot but never leaves him a shot( all on purpose) . Does the same on the second game. Now the guy is stuck $200 and wants to kill anyone in sight but the poor half retard that he just lost to. Regardless to say he left in a hurry. We baught a few rounds and laughed for an hour.
 
"Kill, Kill!!"

After reading the coment about Jumpin' Joe rapping his knuckles on the table and wipping blood on his face wow! i remember that!! I was there!! I heard alot about Jumpin'Joe up untill that point but I had never seen him in person up untill that point. I remember walking into the room and somebody said there's Jumpin' Joe over there so I walked over and the first thing I saw him do was wipe blood on his face and yell "Kill,Kill" that was f*&^%$ hilarious!!! What a character! I met him a couple times since that and I will say that the man played the game with a ton of Heart. Hope he's doing OK.:thumbup:

Thats so cool to hear that from you. Thanks.....
 
This is true, he had a pool fun raiser on saturday in barrie for his step son, i believe its his step son? The poor kid picked up something and was supposed to pass away, but hasnt, he was supposed to never speak again, but has started. Joe does live in barrie and see him and probably can find him if i want. I played in a bar box league against him last year.

This is true lol he did not like losing in the bar box league also :) one time playing his team last year and he got 4 straight eros on the bar box and he had the break for the fifth game and wanted 5 eros. He made a great break, made a ball, the table was open and he missed the first shot which was straight in! lol he was not happy :)
