Joseph W. Custer

This is so timely as I just met with one of Joe´s son John for coffee this week in Spokane. We actually talked about John´s dad some when we visited. I also worked for Joe at Vera Water & Power, and met my future wife Denise, who also worked as Joe´s assistant. Fond memories from the past.

After just again reading Joes obituary, im amazed at all he accomplished in his lifetime. Joe also helped out young folks like myself get started in their working career. I worked at Vera through high school and college as a helper on both the water and electric crew. This experience helped me considerably when i obtained employment in wood pole sales to utilities throughout the northwest.

Joes Son John & I played football together and became good friends. Joe was not only a great...

This is Terry Berg, my wife & I have known Joe our entire married life. I first worked for Joe at Vera all through my high school and college years. My wife to be (Denise) was then working as secretary to Joe; her and I then got married in 1977 and throughout our 34 years of marriage we have exchanged Christmas cards with Joe & Bev each year. He was a wonderful man to know and work for. His son John & I were good friends and we played football together at Central Valley. We will truly miss...

Uncle Joe was a great man, I know my father Herbert thought the world of his older brother. Now they are all together again.
