I’m deeply saddened to report that BrickJournal founder/editor Joe Meno died today (February 11), after a battle with prostate cancer. I take comfort in knowing he was surrounded by his loving family, and passed peacefully.

Joe’s been a dear friend since we first met in 1988, long before I knew he had any interest in LEGO. He was such a kind and fun-loving person, and was very inspirational to me, with an unceasingly positive attitude for as long as I’ve known him, even throughout his cancer fight.

I plan to complete his final issue of BrickJournal (#92), as I know he wanted. If you have personal recollections of Joe you’d like to share for that issue, please email them to me at twomorrow@aol.com
