Joe Grubb

From Adam Grubb:

It is with unbearable sorrow that I must share that the world lost an amazing man today. My father, Joe Grubb, passed away unexpectedly this morning.
Words cannot express the loss that our family is feeling at this time. He was loved by so many... It didn't matter if you knew him from work, rocketry, airplanes, a support group, teaching at camps, or passed by him on the street.. he would lend anyone a hand or give you his last dollar. He always had an approachable presence and could be the voice of reason in any situation. He helped me through some really tough times and made me who I am today. He was my best friend, role model, and my hero. I miss him deeply.

I can't believe I'm saying this...

Godspeed Dad. Blue skies forever buddy and happy landings wherever the path takes you

Rocketry has lost a mentor, TAP member, RC pilot, and damn good rocket builder. I have lost a brother and a very dear friend. Many of you know Joe from his glider flights and some awesome flights at BALLS. All for now.....

Oh no, how awful. Joe was one of the nicest guys. Condolences to his family and friends.

Sincere condolences to his family... Joe used to fly at MWP a few years that I can recall at least.

Never knew him, but sounds like I would have liked him. My condolences.

Condolences to family.

Sounds like an amazing legacy!

I was amazed with his flying ability on both rockets and planes. He had a rocket plane that he did tricks with that always got a roar from the crowd. Both Joe and Gary were my taps for my L3 flight at Tripoli Mid Ohio for two years in a row. I will always remember him! R.I.P.
