I met Joe and Ed many years ago when they were interested in taking a trip through my agency.

 Joe was still working at the Cary Arboretum at the time.  He loved the idea of sharig his

experiences with me and I loved listening to them.  He remembered every detail and I was so

impressed with his knowledge and his admiration for his family.  As I read his obituary, I am even

more impressed  by his accomplishments he made over his lifetime.   I was so sorry to hear of his

passing but I know he is ready for his  next journey to heaven.   He will certainly be missed by all

that knew him.        Sandy & Jim Crichton
