Just found out that a great guy (Joe Carlson) I worked with at Barney Lambs Ball Lake Lodge, ON and at Plummers Great Bear Lake Lodge, NWT.. died. I was a kid away from home and Joe made things go easy for me. Joe looked out for me. I looked for Joe for many years...obviously I didn't look hard enough. Joe was a neat guy...Joe was a "nice guy" and there was nothing I wouldn't have done for him! He was our Foreman and we all liked him very much. Never saw Joe get mad or yell at anyone...wasn't in his nature. I looked up to him...he cared about people. He was my friend and I am sorry I never got the chance to see him again. To Joe's family from my heart to yours...I am so very sad to hear this news and please know that you and Joe will be in my thoughts. I loved this man. - Posted by: Don Rose (Friend) on: May 28, 2014
