Hi, Salesman on the road prior to motels, stayed in rooming houses or hotels. Not being a drinker and looking for a quiet friendly place the Knox was my favorite spot. I was invited to have my breakfast in the kitchen and did ! When Joan and Frank bought it they took on extensive projects painting and renovating. Good thing Frank taught what was then sloyd! Written on the badly cracked kitchen wall written in chalk was this notice. ' He has the right to criticize who has the heart to help' !! Joan was a great cook and tireless worker and together a powerful source. I often went fishing with Frank before breakfast. Brings back lots of memories !! Condolences to the family. Roger Lawrence

Seeing this photo, brings so many memories back to me from my years with her in Tenants Harbor as a student. Unfortunately, as students we were quiet miserably non compliant to her determent, I am afraid, but looking back it is clear to see she was a woman of great caring. There are things we wish we could fully repair and know we cant. This is my pain, but now she is without. Again I wish her family all the best. Thank you for the lessons Joan.

Condolence From Cary and Barbara Haupt

Only happy thoughts of Joan -- She was a good neighbor and special friend. Time spent with Joan was never wasted. She left her mark.
