Joe has been welcomed in heaven by his parents John & Mae (nee Elliott) Gibson, mother in law Florence Chowen Elliott Ludvigsen (nee Knox), his brother Fred, and brother in law Bill Chowen, as well as a host of friends. Joe was a lifelong farmer and while he was always happiest when he was busy, he was even happier when he was doing something for others. This unselfish, gentle soul of a man kept himself busy serving his community and making a living on the farm. As well as being a cow/calf beef and cash crop farmer he also did custom combining, weed spraying or cutting wood. He unselfishly gave back to his community while serving on the School Board, Church committees, local Fire Area Boards, on the Farm Safety Association Board, Hullett Township Council and as the Huron County Tree Commissioner and Huron County Weed Inspector. He also enjoyed serving on the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority and teaching driver training to young snowmobilers through the OFSC. No matter where he went or what he was doing, he always enjoyed the people he met, creating many lasting friendships.
