One of Joseph's favorite pastimes in the winter was curling and he was avid curler until arm chair curling was just the right fit for him. He always enjoyed watching a good curling game and loved watching sports of any kind. Spring was always a time of new beginning and after retirement he became an avid gardener and loved puttering around in the garden. Most of all, he loved being on the farm. Joseph was especially proud of his family. His wife, children and grandchildren meant the world to him and he followed their lives with interest and pride.
