If Joe harbored such frailities—and he was human and must have—only Joe knew of them and he didn’t tell. But when it comes to setting Joe down as a Husband, we are going away past our depth. We only THINK we know, very superficially, but that which we THINK we knbw is beautiful and sustaining and comforting and when added to all those many, many pther things we do know about Joe, makes us all the more sure that Joe has gone to a just reward where he may continue his Craft, his Poesy, his Whistling, his Friendship and when the Great Creator of all Things wills, Joe will resume his temporary suspense from being a Good Husband. ‘ The big guy sez: «• Quit pick ing on him.

In other space may he found the mundane statistics — the common notations, common to the lives of all of us, but here we endeavoi to add, not the common things about Joe, but those things, rather, that Joe taught us and which are his most cherished legacy. Joe was a Master Craftsman, not alone in his own profession— that of a plumber but also in the more rare craft of the Hum anities which he practiced with out benefit, of teaching other than his own conscience.
