In Memory In Memory of our Associates Associate R. Joseph (Joe) Belisle passed away on November 19, 2009, in Wyoming, Michigan. He was preceded in death by his wife, Mary, also an Associate. Joe was 86 years old. Joe is survived by his two children, Jim and Judy. He is also survived by his sister-in-law, Sister Mary Conrad Kirchhoff, PHJC. Joe became an Associate in 1983 and was among those who were recognized for their twenty-fifth anniversary as an Associate in 2008. He was one of the first members of the Associate Community. Joe was active in the summer program at the Motherhouse years ago. Originally the program was for the Poor Handmaid Sisters. Eventually the program opened up to become a summer program for senior citizens. Some of his duties were to obtain speakers, organize games, and drive the boat for boat rides on the lake. The program was held for a series of four week-long groups, but Joe and his wife often stayed throughout the four weeks to help with all the different groups. Joe and Mary also were active supporters of the annual PHJC bazaar. They belonged to the East One Region while they lived in Findlay, Ohio, but were unable to attend meetings in Fort Wayne because of health and distance. They spent their final years living in Wyoming, Michigan, which was closer to their children. May Joe rest in peace.
