[DMCForum] Re: DMCJoe... Your Side regarding Chris?

["therealdmcvegas" <dmcvegas@xxxxxxx>]

I don't have anything negative to say about DMCJoe. He was helpful to
me on a couple of times while still involved in the community.
Although, he did appear to be a bit absent-minded before he left us...

But why would you abandon a business that you've been running for 19
years, where you've also built up a great reputation, and a good
steady line of work, and then abandon it for a failing retail venture?

Too bad for both him, and the DeLorean community. Between his legal
battles, and DMCF filling in the gap he left behind, it's over for him.
