Steph Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 I just noticed on Joe's facebook page that the news I had been dreading had been posted. It appears that he lost his battle with cancer on January 29. He leaves a big, inspiring family and many friends -- and he helped many marble collectors with Joemarbles.com. Here is his obituary. http://www.hamptongentry.com/obituary/terry-street-jr?fbclid=IwAR1MgBioQSXKV5ajzF0_smIM9swmJFr7ybRemhdktZEr-rQPGw049v81N_M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumblebee Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Another sad loss. Very young too. 😭 I referenced his site many times over the years as a great source to see a variety of different marble types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted March 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 For anyone who might want to visit Joemarbles.com but who isn't able to access it (which I'm currently not able to), plug the address in at the wayback machine: https://archive.org/web/ Edit: Joemarbles.com is currently back up. A welcome sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Sad to hear this. I had no idea he was fighting cancer. He was a good man and a big help to marble collectors. Always a helping hand any way he could. Lots of smiles, easy going, never a bad word about anyone. Rest in peace Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marbleized Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 Oh my! I just found his marble site about a month or two ago and even watched a YouTube video that "Joe Marbles" put out. I got a lot out of his resources. I'm sure the marble collecting community is feeling his loss. Sending my deepest sympathy to his family and friends. I didn't know him personally, but I can see that he was a passionate person from the way he shared his knowledge with all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbleized Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 I just posted on this and am sorry for bringing up news from the past unintentionally. Is there a way to find out what year a post was made? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 If it is the current year, it will just have month and day, as the ones here do. If it is older, it will have the year also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbleized Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 Thanks. That’s what I thought. I saw just a date and month but later I noticed posts that I thought were labeled 2017. Maybe the two were distantly related just in name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumblebee Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 Joe's family rescued his site hosting and it's back up, hopefully indefinitely: http://joemarbles.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 Correct me if I’m wrong but I think Joe loved his Masters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
