In Loving Memory of My Uncle Joe (Basolo78)

I wanted to take a moment to honor my Uncle Joe, who went by Basolo78 in There.com. He was the one who introduced me to the world of virtual spaces, and little did I know then that his influence would set the course for much of my life.

I owe so much to him, not just for introducing me to virtual worlds, but also for being a mentor, collaborator, and friend. We spent countless hours together dancing, creating, and exploring in There.com. One of my fondest memories is when he built my wife a pink buggy in the game—one of many creations he lovingly put together. We also worked side by side on our first website, VRGS.com, pouring our passion into it.

Sadly, Uncle Joe passed away too young due to heart complications. Though he’s no longer with us, his impact on my life is immeasurable. His encouragement and creativity laid the foundation for everything I’m doing today. I wish he could have seen how far I’ve come—especially as I celebrate almost 16 years of marriage, a milestone I truly believe wouldn’t have been possible without his role in bringing Becca and me together.

Uncle Joe, I miss you dearly. Your memories are a treasure, and I’ll carry them with me always. I only wish you could have been here to witness the incredible adventure that life has been and continues to be. Thank you for everything.
