Ellen and I write to reflect on our good fortune to have had Joe as our neighbor. Pat and Joe were already pillars of the Jefferson Avenue neighborhood when we arrived in 1978. They had raised their family here. Joe, as everyone in Geneva knows, loved to talk, to tell a story, enjoyed a joke. He was an engaging guy at ease in talk over the back fence, over a drink, on the golf course. He had an amazing memory for, and stories about, the characters who enlivened his home town. In the early 1990s Ellen and I were invited to create an exhibition for the Geneva Historical Society, "To Dress and Keep the Earth: The Nurseries and Nurserymen of Geneva, New York." In casual conversation, over the back fence, Joe became very interested in the project. Some of the charaters in the story were his relatives. He contributed a photograph of Frank McGuigan who was superintendant of nursery operations for W & T Smith Nurseries in the early 20th Century. It appears in the published catalogue of the exhibit, with thanks to Joe for his contribution. More important he offered many insights from his own "catalog" of experience growing up in Geneva in the 1930s, 40s and 50s. Ellen and I admired Joe's generosity of spirit. We feel fortunate to have shared time and life experience with him on Jefferson Avenue.
