To all of Joes family and friends I extend my heart felt sorry in hearing of his passing from our lives here on this plane we refer to as "life on earth". In Buddhist thought, concerning reincarnation, we are continually reincarnated onto this life plane until we "get it right", upon which time we can ascend to Nirvana. As much as I would wish to see and talk with Joe again here... I find solace in believing that Joe has reached his enlightenment. I believe this because if Joe was not allowed to ascend there can be little hope myself. For many years I faithfully attended MCM retreats. On one such retreat I wandered through the woods looking for the cabin where a discussion on the "Intimacy of Men" was to be discussed. I was hopelessly lost yet finally found the cabin where I thought the discussion was to be held. As it turned out neither was I lost nor was I at the correct cabin for the only person there was Joe tidying up his bunk before heading to the lodge. Joe never made it to the lodge that morning, but I found a man that was willing to take me to the next level. We spent a beautiful morning talking together in that cabin and walking in those wonderful woods of Lincolnville, Maine. In that one morning with Joe I found that the meaning of intimacy had nothing to do with men and women, as I had thought. Instead I found it had more to do with one human to another human and especially in regards to overlooking our differences. I learned to hug another man that day, something which I had always craved yet had always felt it was taboo for "real men" to show intimacy to each other. Upon returning to the lodge for lunch and after some hesitation I found other men that craved to hug me as well. For the rest of my years with MCM and to this day I try to make it a point to hug every man I can. It seems I still find great pleasure in this, even though today it is more commonplace. In the following years Joe passed to me much of his wisdom concerning many bothersome aspects of my life and he did it with grace, passion and ease. I loved Joe then, for all he was so willing to give to me, and I shall go on loving my memories of our talks together at MCM. From time to time since then I have found it pleasurable to pass Joes wisdom onto others with similar needs and a lot of what Joe gave to me came in handy when my first grandchild was born high functioning but autistic. I now take great pleasure in passing on wisdoms that Joe taught me to the next generation of my family. In love and light they live on: Paul Yakovenko Guido Joe Rehmeyer

Hank Lunn I have had the honor of sharing time and space with Joe for several years, either at MCM or at our home here in Camden. My wife and I always looked forward to Joes' visits. He always brought joy to our home and time together. Working on the big blanket was such a positive experience. It brought so many of us together, sharing our stories, our bits of cloth, to become a most powerful force in our lives. When I was in ICU one time, the blanket appeared. The hospital was kind of reluctant to have such an "un-hospital" blanket on my bed, but I WANTED it there ...and it stayed. Joe had a way of enfolding you in his arms. His BIG hug is going to be missed by me and so many others in this world. There is a big hole in the universe where you once stood. I'll be seeing you Joe. We can share another Egg Benny and one of your jokes!

Joe and I had two things that we shared in common. We both had severe bouts of depression and we both attended Maine Coast Men for more than 20 years. The most important thing that we discovered together was that despite our difficulties, we could get together and laugh hard and frequently and it was a extremely effective antidote to our personal internal struggles. We really understood each other's various levels of "brain fog" and it rarely took more than a few words of "kind sarcasm" combined with tough love to get us both laughing to the point of tears. When someone passes, I have thought of late that the best way for me to go forward is to say; "We are close in a different way now." We may not hear his voice or see his person, but I am not one to believe that anyone is entirely gone when they pass over. He has always inspired me to be a better person and I believe he is continuing to do so. I will miss his human presence but I will also strive to sense his spiritual presence when I have to make hard decisions. The divine in me honors the divine in you and I expect this trend to continue. We are all better people for having known you. I bet many of us will try to be more like you. Adieu!

I have a lot of great memories of Joe, but the best is this. Years ago he and I made a road trip to bring the Maine Coast Men Quilt to Guido as he was passing. As we got there we discovered that Guido had gone down hill rapidly that day. His family wrapped the quilt around him and within a very few minutes he was gone. Their thinking was, he'd been waiting for us to bring it to him. I can't think of a better person than Joe, to witness that event. Rest easy brother, your job is done. See you again someday.

To Joe's family. I highly value the first time Joe and I met a couple of years ago at the MCM Fall retreat. Joe and I talked regularly on the phone after that. He shared a lot of good wisdom, funny stories and kindness. At the last MCM Fall retreat we connected again when he joined us on the Sunday. He knew then what the outlook was and still showed what a superb man he was. I cherish the brief friendship we had. And I have one of the shirts!

My deepest, most sincere sympathy to the entire Rehmeyer family. All of you---Barb, Ben, Megan, Emily and everyone else; you are in my foremost thoughts & prayers during this sad & difficult time. Please know I'm here for you. Joe was a truly unique and special man. It was a privilege to meet & befriend him. I'm sure that is true for countless others as well. I first met him at one of the local Maine Coast Men weekend men's retreats at the Tanglewood 4-H Camp in Lincolnville. Besides enjoying those weekends, he and I also had mutual interests in nature and visual art. Even toward the very end, he would e-mail me photos he took of Lake St. George, plus ones he took of his latest collage pieces. He visited me & a couple other friends a few years ago when we still lived in Massachusetts. It was during one of those visits he helped me get my first computer. Once I learned how to use it & got online, I found out about Maine, saw a house here I liked, and then bought it and moved here. You could well say that he really helped give me the means to be where I am now. "Thanks for being a good friend & buddy" I'd like to still tell him. I'll miss him. May he be well remembered, and rest in peace.

Joe's sweet giving nature knew no end. He treated me and my sons like life long friends and family. His personal struggles informed and guided him on how he wanted to be with others. He is a brother to many men who met him on those special weekends at Tanglewood. My family loves him and misses him deeply. His presence will always be with us.

Joe is one of the most memorable people I've ever encountered. Something about his twinkling eyes, big beard, and welcoming hug. His willingness to be fully present even when depression pulled him inward. His unabashedly goofy sense of humor. His creativity and joy in sharing and teaching around his art. The sense of connection and community he poured into his quilted blankets of comfort. May his light shine on. Phil Elkin

My condolences to you, Barb and family.. Joe was one of a kind. He always brought a smile to my face. Joe, calling me "Rosie Ruth" was such a sweet endearment to me. He always had the right words to say. HIs tours of the gardens, and showing me his art work. He will be missed. RIP Joe....hope to visit you again some day. Until then... Rosie Ruth
