It seemed like he stayed true to himself in a way that was very honest and very helpful to others.

I asked Blais florist to place the wreath on the hook attached to the steel post (is it still there?).
But, frankly, it looks fine on the stones does it not?

He is similar to a custodian/watchman I knew and loved at ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ in the 1960’s, Mr Beaulieu. Mr. B like Joe, was a role model for students…..always smiling, optimistic and positive, genuinely interested in student life, a hard worker. I am thrilled Joe is on campus and works around students who will learn from him.
Thanks to Jay B for writing this piece about Vetersns Day. Bill Farrington Jr ‘66
