You do not have to be a New Yorker to know Joe Ferrara
What a fantastic man!
Yesterday, I heard awful news about our friend and blogging pioneer Joe Ferrara via Facebook.
Jay Thompson The Phoenix Real Estate Guy posted – Joe Ferrara Needs Our Help. Jay reported that Joe was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor and is currently in an Intensive Care Unit in a New York hospital.
My heart pours out to Joe and his family. He is such a great guy. I love Joe. A real estate broker, attorney and geek. Joe is always available to discuss business and to offer advice.
He needs our help. Donate to Joe’s Medical Expense Fund!
Right now we can all help Joe by donating what you can to help out his family from the incredible medical costs they are facing. Please help. Jay did a great job getting the word out through his blog and setting up the donation fund. I'm posting this on activerain to spread the word more.
I met Joe when I first started blogging. I remember meeting him at a activerain blogger party at a rooftop Garden on Fifth Avenue. I remember everyone at that party that night. I felt as if I knew Joe for ever. Joe and his business partner Rudy Bacharty (Trulia) co founded Sellsius real estate blog. After we enjoyed cocktails and schmoozed on the roof, Joe and Rudy invited me to their RV parked outside. It was awesome. They were heading for A BLOG USA tour right after the party.
They gave me a ride home to the Upper West Side in The Blog Tour RV. I think they slept for a few hours in the Blog Mobile on Riverside Drive before heading to Boston early in the morning. They were crossing the country to meet real estate bloggers and to make blogging presentations. Rudy took great videos. It was a huge success. Blogging and social media pioneers!
I always enjoy hanging with Joe at the real estate conferences and parties. A truly great guy. Hang in there Joe! We're all praying for you.
