I was incredibly fortunate to have worked with Joe Flaherty a few times.
A sweet man that produced a lot of laughs.
My deepest condolences to his family and friends.
Poor Count Floyd never got to preview the awful movies he showed.
My favorite days on set were the ones where we had scenes together.
What a lovely guy.
