Tony says
Rest in peace Joe.
Kim says
God bless, Joe. You wil be missed.
Cancer is bullshit.
Doug says
I’m lost for words…
The world will be a quieter, more boring place without you, my friend.
Thanks for many, MANY hours of audio fun – I can see Mike putting together a “Best of Randy” clip show as I type!
Final thought: the late, great English comedian Spike Milligan instructed his headstone to read “I told you I was ill!” – not exactly sure why that just popped back into my head… I hope no-one is offended by that.
(Maybe I wasn’t so lost for words after all…)
J Irving says
cheers Joe

Nigel in Melbourne says
Ah shit. I am truly sorry to hear this. I have chatted to Joe a few times, he always seemed a great genuine guy. The world is a little emptier now. ๐
Matt says
I hope you’ve found peace, Joe. Rest easy.
Barry from Athens says
Rest in peace, Joe. You’ve made us all glad to have known you.
I find it somehow appropriate that he left us on April Fool’s Day. It comforts me to think that Joe’s sense of humor would have been tickled by that.
Carl says
I never met Joe, but I feel a loss. My thoughts and prayers are with Joe’s family and his SOSF family.

Damn it. We need more guys like Joe in this world, not fewer.

Joe will be missed.

It won’t be the same without you Joe.
People you never met miss you.
What more can be said.

Well, this was pretty much sucky news for my day.
Goodbye Joe, Thanks for introducing me to a whole new world.

It’s amazing how strongly I can feel the loss of someone I’ve never meet. Joe, may the root beer never lose its fizz, wherever you are. You will be missed.
:-D says
Rest in peace friend. You are missed.
David from Aberdeen (UK) says
Sad News indeed!
There will, now and forever, be something missing from the shows Joe was in!
Elf_NFB says
…and on April Fools Day….I think Joe is smiling at the irony. God bless and God speed, Joe. You are missed.
Chris says
All I can say is thanks Joe for the good radio. You will be missed.
Joe says
I’m surprised this writeup didn’t point to where Joe could be heard. I’ve never heard of him but might be interested in experiencing what it was you al grew so attached to.
Pavlina says
Joe, you will be missed.
Ritchie Ritch says
A LEGEND TO SOME…BUT A HEROE TO OTHERS !!!WILL MISS YOU IN MANY WAYS !
Billy Flynn says
I was holding out hope that Joe would get that miracle turnaround…. Joe… you made me laugh my fool head off so many times. Tonight I am toasting you and playing some of my favorite moments. We’ll miss you man!
Avery Cohen says
That is sad news. I wasn’t aware of Joe’s illness. Several years back, Joe was a talented and passionate member of our First Draft APA community. His fiction was among the best of the group. His experience and generous spirit helped set the tone for the community. He is fondly remembered here.
I also did not know about his podcasts, which I now look forward finding and downloading.
Mike from NorCal says
The Drunken College Circus scene has lost one of its best.
Joe Russo says
Rest in peace Joe, our condolences to his family and friends. He will be missed.
Seigel says
Our condolences….
GazerBeam says
I haven’t been listening for very long, but when I started, I remember hearing Joe’s snarky comments. He will be sorely missed.
Chris B says
First thing that popped into my head when I read the news was last weeks BSG. Joe sitting in that Viper waving to Lee (well, it would probably by Tricia Helfer…) and saying he found his idea of Sanctuary.
He’ll be missed, the world needs more geeks willing to geek like no one is watching them.
Darin says
It would be sick, but shame it wasn’t some April Fool’s joke…
Indiana Jim says
There is an unfillable hole in the podosphere today.
Ari from Boston says
tihiyeh zichron baruch.
(May his memory be a blessing)
Jason says
My deepest heartfelt condolences to Joe’s friends and family. I’ll miss your happy voice.
Summer Brooks says
Joe can be heard on the following shows:
Those are the shows he was a regular on. You may need to check the show notes to see which episodes of Cover to Cover he did and did not participate in. I will need help from the show’s fans to track down what shows he made guest appearances on.
scottsiglerjunkie says
rest in peace joe you made the shows you were on even more special as you had the ability to make me cry with laughter and then feel sad for you all at the same time may you rest in peace and my condolences go out to the family be they direct or far point media.
joe is looking down on us and hopefully haunting evo a bit
we miss you joe !!!!!!
Sevens says
I really can’t believe this has happened. It came so fast.
I’m listening to the Tribute show right now and I can’t help but tear up just listening to it. Listening to a podcast every week you begin to feel almost like you guys are personal friends. Even though I’ve never met Joe, Evo, or Mike it still feel like I know you. Having Joe leave us this quickly is hard to deal with.
He was a good man. There’s really not much more to say. He was a good man.
Pip says
Deeply saddened on the otherside of the world to hear of Joe’s passing. I will now never have the chance to meet him, but the wonderful thing was that we at least got to share him on the podosphere. Thanks for the insight and the laughs Joe. This kiwi chick will miss them all.
Matt says
We’ll miss you Joe.
Linda says
So sorry to hear about Joe. Wanted to let you know that leiomyosarcoma is not a carcinoma. It is a sarcoma. Please correct on your site.
TomW says
I am so sorry to hear about Joe. His insights will be missed…
Francis Burdett says
My sincere condolences for Joe’s family and for the family that is FPM, both will be grieving in similar measure.
Joe handled the news of his illness in his “public face” with remarkable wit and spirit.
mikerabil says
JOE MURPHY RULES! SHINE ON U CRAZY DIAMOND. U WILL BE GREATLY MISSED. FPM HAS LOST ITS BEST CONTRIBUTOR . VERY SAD.
jh084 says
RIP Joe Murphy. ๐
Brian Mahony(sosffan89) says
GODDAMMIT!!!!:-(
WHY THE FUCK DOES SHIT LIKE THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN?!?!?
oh well…no use in getting angry over it…
at least he’s got good company waiting for him in heaven…Douglas Adams,Issac Asimov,Scotty…he will b ok…
“Now cracks a noble heart. Good night, sweet prince,
And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!”
Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you’re chewing on life’s gristle
Don’t grumble, give a whistle
And this’ll help things turn out for the best…
And…always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the light side of life…
If life seems jolly rotten
There’s something you’ve forgotten
And that’s to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you’re feeling in the dumps
Don’t be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle – that’s the thing.
And…always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the light side of life…
For life is quite absurd
And death’s the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin – give the audience a grin
Enjoy it – it’s your last chance anyhow.
So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath
Life’s a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life’s a laugh and death’s a joke, it’s true.
You’ll see it’s all a show
Keep ’em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the right side of life…
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
Always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the bright side of life…
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
Always look on the bright side of life…
(I mean – what have you got to lose?)
(You know, you come from nothing – you’re going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the right side of life…
JOE MURPHY~ u shall be missed by many…
