Rest peacefully Joe. I loved your posts. I never had the privilege of meeting you in person, but learned a lot from you.

I'm still trying to use up all the post holes that I got from him RIP Joe

I met Joe a number of years back at a ShopBot camp in Wichita … His signs will remain standing for dozens of years and will be copied for much longer than that…
Hope someone will post a few pictures of his work.

This is sad news.
I was thinking I hadn't seen him post in quite awhile a month or so ago. I visited his website and sent him an email. I never received a response, and I hoped he was doing well, but this news is what I was afraid was the reality.
RIP Mr. Crumley!

Although i haven't frequented the forum for a while, i consider myself an "old timer" here. Owned a Shopbot for over 15 years and always learned something from him, as from a great many of you fellow "old timers"!

Rest in peace Joe.
Here's a post when I visited his shop in Norman OK on my way back from a field service job

Yeh that's bad news. I haven't been here in a long while but do remember both locking horns with AND respectfully learning a few useful things from Joe. God speed and warmest sympathy for his loved ones.
