We were very sad to hear of the deaths of Barb & Joe and pleased we had some happy times together when they visited us in Bridport. X

Vic and my Mom were brother & sister. Many years ago Barb, Lynne and my brother Vance and I were kids together on my Dad's farm in Sask. I heard from Barb faithfully every Xmas as her family all grew up and branched out on their own., She was a cousin at a distance but not a distant cousin by no means. We appreciated her yearly letter at Xmas... we will miss hearing from her...such a gracious and lovely person she was. Best regards from Bev and Bill Neilson

Sad to learn. I went to high school with Joey where we dated and kept in touch for many years thereafter as friends with childhood fond memories class of 1952 as he proudly spoke of his children. He spoke many times of his happy life and at school reunion book wrote that marriage to Barb was his greatest accomplishments. Although I only met her once at MIT and I was going college in VT we knew many of the same people in New England. Rest in peace.....with love ❤ judy
