Robert F Chew

``Proposition Joe''

1960-2013

Actor, Mentor, Teacher

One of my favorite characters in the Wire. An interesting character, in another world, a Bishop or a Tory. See his last speech to Cheese, when he talks about his grandfather the first coloured man to buy his home in Baltimore. Or when he fixes a toaster, puts it in his shop window, and prices it.  On the streets of Baltimore a murderer and drug dealer.
