Joseph T. Achen

Joe was a true gentleman I always looked forward to seeing him at work and talking about the canals rest in peace Joe

Your willingness to help others before yourself will always stand out in my memory. I was honored to be your friend and co-worker. From one Navy veteran to another and fellow canaller I wish you eternal peace.

Jerry and Kathy I´m so sorry to hear the sad news that Joe passed. I´ll always remember all the fun times we all had growing up on Tabor Place. And Joe and my sister Joan hanging out together when we were kids. RIP

Joe was someone who would literally give you the shirt off his back. I talked to him months ago about his cancer and he told me that he didn't want to be treated at the VA hospital because he thought other vets needed more help than himself. This speaks for the character of this great man. Rest in peace Joe.

I am so sorry I wrote the wrong name. I am sorry Joe passed.

So sorry to hear about Jerry´s passing. So sad for all of you.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Jerry, Kathy, and family. This picture taken in my backyard on Tabor Place brings a smile to my face every time I look at it. So many great memories of our childhoods and shenanigans! Thinking of you...
