We got to know Joe at Twin Lakes Beach. We saw him as a very hard working man but one that loved his work. We joked about his toys (all of his heavy equipment). He would clear our driveway for us if we were coming for a winter visit. It is very sad that a man that worked so hard all of his life and probably had many good years ahead of him, became a victim of the 2011 flood. Life was never the same for Joe and Lois after. Our sincere condolences to his family from #2 McKenzie Bay North. - Posted by: John Caister (Lake Neighbor ) on: Aug 21, 2013
