Our lives were enriched by having Uncle Joe in them. He always had a smile and kind word to say and was genuinely pleased to see any of us. I'll remember his getting out the projector and showing home movies for us -- both the 35 mm and 16 mm (?). He has the only "picture" I've ever seen of myself as a baby.
Uncle Joe took such good care of Aunt Marv and loved his children so much. He was the one charged to carry the myriad of desserts that Aunt Marv had made for the Lindsey family reunion, never complaining at the job. Although all of his contemporary brothers-in-law were gone, he still made it up to Crystal Lake and took interest in what the nieces and nephews were doing. We will miss your kind spirit and ready smile.
I have many fond memories of Uncle Joe - childhood memories of staying with your family and Uncle Joe arranging a boat ride on Lake Michigan that was somewhat of a thrill ride, going to the State Fair or Greenfield Village and all of the fourth of July family reunions at Crystal Lake. Adult memories of Aunt Marvel and Uncle Joe coming to see my mom. Denny, Uncle Joe and I would usually go and check something out. Uncle Joe was always interested in whatever it maybe and Denny and I would end up learning something from Uncle Joe that we would not have known had we not seen it with him.
He was a good husband and father. He live a life you all can be proud of!
What a kind and gentle man. I remember many visits to the Vig family home with my dad Norris H Cutler and my mother Agnes Cutler. I remember music was part of the fabric of his life. We are very fond of the whole Vig family. It was quite a shock to hear of Uncle Joe's passing. Many thanks to John Czeryba for the phone call. We will be coming down to Muskegon on Tuesday.
Uncle Joe was a extraordinary, caring and talented human being. He has always been a role model to me. He never complained, was always helping somebody and sincerely cared about other people. He brought Aunt Marvel over so that my mother could visit with her sister though the trips had to be taxing and boring for him. He remained interesting in learning and involved his entire life. He loved to share his knowledge and experience unselfishly. When I had trouble rebuilding a engine, Joe was there. When a nylon gear in my Mother's lift chair kept stripping, Joes somehow made a worm gear out of brass. When Joe, John and I went to the flying tiger air museum, a place which had bored me on several prior occasions, it suddenly came alive for me as Uncle Joe shared his knowledge and experiences with us. He was one of the last of our Greatest Generation and will be deeply missed by many and fondly remembered always,.
