Joseph worked for many years in the woods, either cutting
firewood, pulpwood or working with Christmas trees. Joe knew what a
hard day’s work was and looked forward to everyday. He would
often use his horse to haul the wood out and he loved to be around his
horse. When he wasn’t working, he loved to listen to country
music and loved having family and friends come by for a get together.
He helped build the Sunnyville ball field and both Joseph and his late
wife took pride in their community and will be dearly missed by all
who knew and loved them.
Visitation will be from 1-4 and 7-9 p.m. on Sunday in Dennis
Haverstock Funeral Home, Guysborough. Funeral service will take place
on Monday at 2 p.m. from Wesley United Church, Guysborough with Rev.
