  • Such a good man, feel very sorry with the way he died, lot of respects and love for him and for pigeons

  • Nikola Tesla loved pigeons. They honor him sitting on his power transmission lines.

  • Some times we can't see the little things that others do that make a difference because we are to busy worry about ourselves only.

  • In some cultures, it's good luck to feed pigeons {rock doves}.

  • This is beautiful. Most people in the world can be so selfish. But people like him thinks of others and even the living things before him self. God bless him. His beautiful soul is in peace in Heaven. :)

  • How terribly tragic that such a gentle soul as Mr. Zeman lost his life to a selfish human!

  • Though his words are simple and few, listen, listen he's calling to you. Feed the birds, tuppence a bag. Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag.

  • I was wondering what happened with him

  • It's really great that there're people taking time to have a memorial for someone who was obviously an iconic figure in your area. It gives me the impression that your neighborhood must have a great sense of community. Way to go, and RIP pigeon man.

  • Comment removed

  • (rice is horrible for pigeons though fyi)

  • I cant believe he died that way; thats aweful.

  • i live in that neighborhood... but there is also the bike guy, he has a TON of stuff placed on his cool bike.

  • i dont know who that is, but rest in peace

  • I actually cried when he died. I went to the school that's kiddi-corner from the McDonalds. I crossed the street with him bunches of times. I saw him five days a week and I had respect for him to be feeding the pigeons when they put up signs saying you'd get fined for it. Rest in peace Joe. You will always be a part of my past. I think of you when I think of Chicago. lmao.

  • Wow......A real life Pigeon Man :D

    (I'm talking about the cartoon character from Hey Arnold! if anyone doesn't know)

  • @marcman07 I remember !!!

  • @marcman07 naw he didnt die, he just flew away with his friends

  • @marcman07 there's a pigeon man in New york, who looks more similiar to the guy in hey arnold :p

  • @Frozenflutter What part of New York?

  • @marcman07 He's at Nyc's Washington Square Park. Though as I recall at my brother's only photo of him

  • He is one remarkable pigeoneer...God Bless his soul...

  • I remember seeing Joe when I was a little kid feeding all of those pigeons and I thought it was really cool of him to be doing that. I moved out of the area a while ago and I had no idea that he had passed.

  • "and you know what? the birds hardly ever pooped on him."

  • what does that mean?

  • @wolfowitzscum its actually true. if birds have a bond with u they sometimes tend not to poop on u.
