“I’ll use the term ‘suffering,’ quite honestly,” Klausutis said about the impact of the steady barrage of social media postings, complete with malicious and demonstrably false claims, about what happened to his wife. Klausutis, an Air Force engineer, said in exclusive interviews for a new three-episode season of the Yahoo News podcast “Conspiracyland.” Titled “A Death in Florida,” the “Conspiracyland” series explores the circumstances surrounding the July 2001 death of Klausutis’s wife, Lori, and how they triggered nearly two decades of conspiracy theories, first pushed by liberal bloggers and more recently adopted and turbocharged by Trump and his allies. “It got to the point that I literally could not stomach this,” T.J. The widower of a onetime aide to Joe Scarborough, the former congressman turned MSNBC host, told Yahoo News in a series of emotional interviews that the conspiracy theories about the death of his wife - promoted by President Trump on Twitter and embraced by the devotees of the QAnon conspiracy cult - have caused “inhuman” pain and anguish for him and his late wife’s family.

Joe was a member of Woodford Church of Christ at the time of his death. He was preceded in death by his Father Charlie Cable, Mother Bessie (Estep) Cable, his children Phillip Cable, and Onna Jones, his Granddaughter Selena Cable, and siblings Elizabeth, Bertha, Dixie, Hoover, Cory, Jessie, Charlie, and John. Joe is survived by his loving wife, Betty Cable, daughter-in-law Pat Cable, son-in-law Richard Jones, Grandchildren- Brian Cable, Sarah (Jonathan) Moore, and Stuart (Miranda) Jones, and two great grandchildren, Jayden and Katherine, unofficially adopted son Richard Penny, as well as one brother Dave, and four sisters Jettie Lee, Lexie, Goldie, and Jane and many loving nieces and nephews. He was known for the size of his garden, the variety of fruits & vegetables he grew, but most of all for his generosity with his gardening knowledge, plants, and produce. He also had a passion for gardening and just couldn’t start his tomato seeds early enough. Joe was a friend to everyone and was willing to help anyone he could. After his retirement, he volunteered at his grandchildren’s elementary schools doing science demonstrations and was affectionately called Granddaddy by many of the students there. He was honored with the Science Teacher of the Year award and was inducted into the Henry Clay Teachers’ Hall of Fame in 2004. Not only did he teach high school, but he also taught in prisons, the veteran’s hospital, and many through the GED program. He taught high school chemistry for 34 years, spending the majority of his career at Henry Clay High School. Joe received his bachelor's from Berea College and his Master’s from Marshall University. “Smilin’ Joe” (as some of his friends knew him) had a warm, loving, and humorous spirit, but above all a strong faith in the Lord evidenced by his marriage of 68 years, readiness to share the gospel with anyone, the raising of his children, and teaching. Joe Cable, loving husband of Betty Cable and father of two children, passed away on Wednesday, September 28, 2022, at the age of 91. Funeral Time: Tuesday, October 4th at 12:00PM
