After a vibrant life, Joe Bageant died yesterday {March 26} following a four-month struggle with cancer. He was 64. Joe is survived by his wife, Barbara, his three children, Timothy, Patrick and Elizabeth, and thousands of friends and admirers. He is also survived by his work and ideas.
Another “American” Hero gone …
Bageant Moves On
I considered Joe to be the best 'southern' writer of his generation. Even if you didn't agree with all of his viewpoints, he always put a smile on your face. He was one of those guys who in his healthy times would answer his emails and was as down to earth in his communications as he was in his writings.
His essays and books remain required reading. Maybe one day we'll see some of his work on the silver screen.
Joe, you will be missed .....
