 Here is a Obituary of a Donald Patrick Joseph of Helifax. I know he mentioned his wife to me from time to time, but I do not recall what her name was. Maybe someone from here will know him better and can clarify if this is him or not. http://www.sovanow.com/index.php?/ob...atrick_joseph/

I do not think the obituary is his, because I don't think he was 83 as it states in it. Michael (McClem) from here and another poster on another site conversed with him from time to time, and both have asked me if I have heard from him because they know we were friends as well.

I wish i had information on DJ, but i do not know. Back before the last week of Del Mar contest he sent me a PM asking to to do his picks the last few days of the contest, he was going in for surgery to fix an aneurysm with a special stint, said he would be there 2-3 days. I returned the message, told him i would do the picks wished him the best, thoughts and prayers went with him. He returned that one thanking me for the prayers and that was the last message i received. I hope and pray he will turn up soon and he is ok, i wish i had his contact information, but sadly i do not.
 DJ and myself had similar views on politics, which there's no secret clashed with many on of you on this board. Yes it even gets heated at times, because no matter the viewpoints, we all are passionate about our side. Which is actually not a bad thing. He loved a good debate, and as many of you know was not afraid to mix it up on politics. This site we all care about is not mostly about our political views, nor should any of us be defined in our our lives by said views on politics! DJ is a good man, husband, father, grandfather, a veteran who cares very deeply about our troops and of course his family. I hope and pray the man is alive and well and recovering, and i hope we find out something soon.

The obituary that I read on Donald Patrick Joseph indicates that he had two great grandsons. One's name is Cole Edward and the other is Elijah Patrick. I thought I remembered him posting about the birth of Cole Edward and I looked back and found the post. I think this is the child in his avatar. If it's true and DJ(Bigrun) is gone, I am sorry for his family and for his friends here at Derby Trail. I will miss the friendly competition he and I had in contests and I will miss his cartoons in the politics section.
