Dianne and family:
Both my husband and I worked with Joe at Hudson’s Bay Oil and Gas. I was Ray Travers secretary and Duane was an Accountant, so interaction with Joe was on a daily basis.
He was a great guy, very respected and respectful.
I had forward the obituary on to Peter Woytowich, who is in Arizona and below is what he wrote back, which I felt should be forwarded to you.
With our sincerest sympathy.
Doreen and Duane Williams
From Peter Woytowich:
“Thanks for the email. We are sure sorry to hear about Joe. Joe was the best employee that ever worked for me at HBOG. He was trustworthy, reliable, conscientious, extremely dedicated and hard working. He was also a good friend. All I can say is that I am happy that I was able to spend a little time talking with Joe at the HBOG reunion last fall. At that meeting I got the impression that Joe was not in good shape, although he put on a good face. This was Joe.
His obit is very well done and does him proud.
Thanks for sending it to us.”
Peter and Eileen Woytowich
