I LOVE YOU, Daddy! Happy Valentines Day! Missing everything about you deeply, but thank you for coming to visit so often in my dreams ;) I know you are here with me always... xoxoxoxoxo Crystal

Joe represented many of us in Arizona, including me. I can't thank him enough for all he did for me. He was a joy to be around and I will miss him dearly. Remembering you, as always.

What a grand tribute from Joe's friends and family. I remembered years ago meeting Keith , Crystal and Kathy at YMCA Family Camp and knowing them for many years growing up in Alhambra. I'm sad to hear of your loss. Joe's children are a proud legacy to the way he enjoyed life. John Trapani

Joe was a great man. I met him a few years ago thru AIM. Myself and Final Option MC worked to start the San Diego Confederation. We will miss Joe. Ride Easy Bro. ELMO

For twenty years we officed together -- we talked law, we talked politics, we talked religion. We laughed a lot (Joe's roaring belly laughs were quite contagious you know) . I would often laugh when I would hear Joe's snores as he took his afternoon catnaps. Every morning for the past 15 years I would straighten the wall hangings on our adjoining wall and grumble to myself " Why can't he just sit in his chair instead of falling into it and bouncing off the wall ?" I loved that old boy like a brother --I will miss our chats about the law, about politics and about religion. I will miss those afternoon sounds of relaxation emanating from his office. What I will miss the most--is Joe. The world is a better place because of his contributions and I sure do miss looking at those crooked wall hangings!!! May my good friend and confidant rest in peace. I will never forget you.

Joe was a special friend and I wil always remember him. He was an honest, intelligent man of strong character who lived his life with purpose. He liked to enjoy life and laughed heartily as we all know. I will have many memories from the courthouse where we worked, his graduation from law school and his beach house where he looked forward to spending more time. I will remember Joe's generosity and truthfulness --you could always count on him to give you his honest opinion. He was a big hearted man proud of his family and enjoying good times with them and his friends. I will miss him very much but am also very grateful to have shared part of my life with him. Blessings to him wherever he is. My sympathies to you Keith and Crystal, Genny Chow

Joe was one of a kind. He was a very generous man, who shared his beach house with many over the long summers. My family was one of the lucky ones to have known him. We will cherish all the great times spend with Joe and the Bernal family down in Baja Malibu. Joe had a love of life and and an infecticious laugh that drew you to him. He lived life to the fullest and enjoyed every moment of it. He will be missed by many. We miss his sense of humor and laugh. God bless him and his family. Wahba Family

Crystal, Brandon, and family, I am sorry for the loss of your father, but you know he's up there making everyone laugh. Your father often spoke of you two lovingly. I met your father back in 1987 after I was involved in a motorcycle accident, shortly after he started with AIM. We remained friends throughout the years and worked together on his Arizona motorcycle cases. I am so thankful for the opportunity to have known him and will never forget the good times in days gone by. The one thing I will always remember of Joe is his voice and smile - and oh yea, his trike. I remember him riding into Phoenix back in the late 80's for a party at my house (ABATE) - he was a presence one did not forget. He will be missed and remembered throughout the years. Love ya Joe - ride on and remember "what a ride life was." Love Jeanette

I am so sorry to hear of your loss and what a blessing to read what a wonderful person your father stood to be and impacts the lives of others with precious memories. He sounds like a truly great fun loving compassionate person to be around. Sounds just like you Crystal with your warm and generous personality; such treasured gifts your father has given you! Hold on to them forever! My deepest condolences to you and family. May God bless you and soothe you during this difficult time. In Frienship, Debra

Reading all of your statements i see how much love you have given this man and how hard it must be to let go of someone you love so much. He was so very lucky to have people in his life that loved him and have all these wonderful memories to share.

Gosh... one of my co-workers just took a trip to Alaska and shared pictures of their fishing trip to Sitka. I just couldn't help think while looking at the pictures that all those beautiful views were already taken in by you!!!! As a souvenier I got a beautiful "card-board" postcard from Alaska which I have on my desk and will always remind me of you!! There's no doubt that you've left a void in many lives, but the comfort comes in knowing that you are a better place!!!

Awwww...what a beautiful night. I got to see my dad in my dreams last night. He looked great! He was watching us look through all his old pictures and enjoying seeing them all once again. He pointed to one and said "I like that one" to me. It was a picture of him being silly with a big huge smile. I confirmed with him, like to say "you want this one in the slide show at your memorial?". He said "yes". So cute. I will be on the lookout for the picture to share with you all if it exists. After that, I broke down in my dream, of course sad because I remembered that he was gone, and Dad hugged me and comforted me. I love him so much. That was the best. I had to share with you all. Love ya Dad...Love ya, love ya, love ya... Crystal

It has taken me days before I could sit down and write this. I met Joe about 20 years in San Diego and have kept in touch with him on and off over the years. When I moved to Arizona, it was great to finally see and talk to Joe on a regular basis again. One of the many things that I always noticed about Joe is that I rarely heard him say No. He was a natural giver. Joe has given so much of himself to bikers and the motorcycle rights community and will leave a void that can never be filled. No words could I ever say that describe the loss I feel for someone that I first met and have known for 20 years. True freedom is now yours my brother and I will never forget you. I really wish I could have went to dinner with you and MMA of Arizona officers on the 19th. But no worries, we will have that dinner --- just a little later down the road. In freedom. --JD

My fondest memories of Joe was how easily he treated me like his daughter. I moved in with Janet, Crystal and Keith when I was 11 years old and right away I was treated as part of the family. Every outing Joe would do with his kids I was always invited to come along. We did a lot of things together that I had never experienced before like hiking, fishing, camping, etc. We always had a good time and Joe was always happy to see us happy. I will always have very fond memories of the times we were together. When I met my husband Ruben, Joe was one of the first to invite him over and treated him like he knew him for years. As we all got older he was always very generous to all of us with not only his San Diego house but also his Rosarito beach house. He let everyone come and enjoy "His little bit of paradise" and was always so happy and content. Joe could always be seen with a smile on his face and a devilish grin, most of the time this was due to him seeing a good looking lady. His humor never got old and neither did he. Joe will always be remembered by us as a go lucky guy that loved to enjoy life. His hardy laugh was always contagious and kept a party going. Joe, you will be truly missed at our family gatherings but not forgotten. You'll be in our thoughts and memories every time we are enjoying life. Hope you are enjoying the afterlife as much as you did your own life. Crystal and Keith, you are in our prayers and thoughts everyday. We love you all!!!

I want to extend my deepest sympathies for the loss of your Dad. Joe and I have been friends for almost 40 years. We first became friends while both of us were employed at the Los Angeles Municipal Court in downtown Los Angeles. We soon became the best of friends. I could probably write a book about all the adventures and great times we had over the years. Joe never met a stranger. He had that special something that made people want to befriend him. I knew Joe's Mom and Stepdad for several years and as they got older, he took special care of them until their death. He was very compassionate about his family and their welfare. When both of you were just little kids, Joe and I used to take you on outings to such places as the mountains, Calico Ghost Town, the county fairs and a host of other places. We had some great times! I will greatly miss my best friend and mourn his loss for the rest of my life. I never met a more generous man than your Dad. Even during some of the lean years when he first started practicing law, his upbeat attitude got him through it. His dream was to settle a big lawsuit, make a big chunk of money, buy a beach house in Baja and retire there for the rest of this life. Unfortunately, God had other plans for Joe. He took him home long before his time. He will be missed terribly by anyone and everyone who ever knew him. May God richly bless you both and soothe your souls during this time of great sorrow.

Joe was big in every way, hugely generous, extremely helpful, overly caring, super intelligent; verrry funny - a comedian at times, a very healing brother when it came to consoling us in our difficulties and --”to erupt energetically" - that would be his explosive personality that would emerge when he became upset at some of the trials and tribulations that I, and MMA-AZ encountered throughout the years!!! Joe was always there for me when I had to pester him on many occasions for advice and "counseling" regarding MMA’s challenges. When some of those matters could have deeply hurt our Motorcycle Rights Organization he definitely would explode and when that happened I would hold the phone at a distance take a deep breath and realize that we were on our way to "home base" and the problem would exist no longer. He was also an entertainer - a perfect and jovial host and anyone who had the privilege of attending one of his dinner feasts will not soon forget a wonderful time!!! Joe loved to dine and insisted every one of his guests enjoy an elaborate banquet - from cocktails - to dessert. Ahhh yes - dessert --which he loved - dessert!!!!!! He would ask for a "to go" box if he had overindulged with the dessert order and proudly take what he couldn't consume back to the motel for a midnight snack. Certainly a regular guy - just like us!!! I remember on one of his visits to Phoenix we were cruising and looking for a place for him to host another party on Freedom Rally weekend 2007. (Actually we soon realized that we were looking for a Marie Callenders so that he could buy a pie – and the real kicker – they were on sale at that time!!!!) Joe was also a super teacher and never refused a sit-down conversation when we wanted and needed his advice and shared past histories - and it just never ended. I could sit for hours and listed to him reminisce and share some pretty scarrrrry tales along with very choice language - words that you wouldn't find in Mr. Webster's big book. He was mesmerizing!!!!!!! MMA-AZ meetings, ACMC meetings, and definitely NCOM will never be quite the same with JOE EGG's absence. Many of us have shed tears and felt a void come over us since August 5th 2008. His huge presence will never be forgotten and we will go on knowing that our lives have truly been changed because of the privilege of knowing and loving Joseph L. Eggleston, ESQ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We will always have a special place in our hearts - we will miss you forever. Much love- Many memories------- Betty McDonald-Swinford aka BBOOP MMA-AZ – (co founded by JOE) Treasurer

Everyone like Joe, except those who had done wrong by his brothers and sisters in the wind - they got to see the Joe the rest of us never encountered - the snarling pit bull. For all the rest of us, he was a man it was virtually impossible not to like, respect, and enjoy the company of. If there are bugs in heaven, I know you'll have a few in your teeth. So long, buddy.

I have met your dad only twice. The last time I saw him was at your wedding Keith. He was so happy and funny. I am so sorry to heard about his passing. I guess Jesus and His 12 Aposiles were in need of a fishing buddy. All joking aside, you are both in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time in your lives. If there is anything we can do...please ask. All our love Richard and Nancy Flores

Many of our memories of Joe are from our visits to the beach house. He certainly was a young person at heart who knew how to enjoy life. His easy spirit was so contagious and he was such a warm loving person. I remember he always loved to see us enjoy the beach, especially the kids. Being a big kid himself, his face would light up just watching the kids enjoying themselves. If he wasn't down at the beach with us, all you had to do was look up and you'd see him at the deck with a big smile on his face taking in the view. He will most certainly be missed by all! God Bless Him!

I am sorry to say that I did not have the honor of knowing Joe, but from what I have read from everyone else's memory I know that a big part of him lives on in you. Your caring, comforting and generous way with others and warm, friendly way with people have become a wonderful tribute to your father. My deepest condolences to you and your family. Gayle

I meet Joe off and on over the last five years at NCOM conventions and other functions and he was truly a one of a kind individual that always made you feel welcome and like each and everyone had something to contribute our cause he will be truly missed and impossible to replace Ride on Joe with the Spirit in the Sky may you always be free.

Joe was an Honest & True Human Being. I spoke with him in January 2008. I will always remember his sincere concern about the situation I was in at that time. He took the time to listen to me cry and convinced me that everything would be OK, and he was right. This world one less Angel and Heaven has another Warrior to greet us as we go home. Hey Joe, I hear the roads up there don't have any potholes !! Save all of us left here, a nice place where you are at !! ((((((((((((HUGGS))))))))))) PanTanna Tanna Toney-Ferris
