This Old House Fans, Joe Ferrante...

Postby caseydog » Thu Jan 17, 2008 8:55 pm

Whoa. I was just watching TOH tonight, and a very choked up host announced the passing of master tile man, Joe Ferrante.

Caught me off guard. Since TOH is my "American idol" kind of show, I got to "know" the guys on it. Joe Ferrante was a favorite, in a way, because lke me, he's Italian, and he was a real stickler for quality.

RIP Joe Ferrante. Here's one for you. :beer:

This reinforces the fact that you have to take care of that body. An aspirin a day ...........................!
