"He touched a lot of lives."

That comment, "He touched a lot of lives," was heard quite often at Joe's funeral. Joe had a big heart, and always had time to talk with people and ask how things were going. He had great respect for everyone, and treated all with much dignity. He was quite active in the small community of Bruce. There were numerous pictures of him having a good time during their annual "Honey Days". One year, a float he and some friends had created was even named the most humorous (or some equivalent prize).

Thanks to all who expressed their condolences. Jean (McCone) Forsyth recognized our vulnerability when she said, "We just don't know how fragile life is sometimes."
