We heard the sad news last night that Joe Gonzalez, better known as Caveman, has passed away. He was 54.
Caveman has been a longtime regular at Sophie's, where he would often be seen bypassing glassware in favor of drinking straight out of the pitcher. He was also a regular on the local pool scene.
We don't know many more details now about Joe's death. He had been battling diabetes in recent years. He'll be missed.

I love all our east village old timers....and it's looking like we are entering that time when we start to lose us to time taking it't toll.
RIP Mr Caveman. I always opted for the pitchers myself.
R.I.P. Caveman. Old School indeed!

A wonderful friend & a hell of a guy. He will be missed.
He came out of the city after fifteen years to camp with us. Meat and JD. Sweet to the kids. High sense of honor. Beloved friend.
Rest in peace, dear friend. You will be missed.
