Joseph Sakaye

I met Joe after he got out of the service in GF. He shared a lot of stories and tales. Always ready to give you a bad time or play a prank on you. He was hard working and fun to be with. A true friend who always had your back. He was working construction and the most physically fit guy in our group. This was in the 1960 to 1963 time frame. I left for the Army in 1963 and didn't return to MT until 1994. I wish I had known he was back in Montana.

I was sad to hear about his...

Joe and Bev are very good friends of mine Joe was so happy easy go lucky and a great spirit he will be missed by many my thoughts are with you Beverly John and Jodie God bless you

I am so sorry about Joe. I grew up with Joe on the Westside. We had alot of fun together. I was at his house and he was at mine ,and we played in the Great Northern Yards with a few kids in the area.
We went to movies and got into trouble sometimes.
I saw Joe a few times after he got out of the service,
then I lost track of him after that. I didn't know he lived in Sun River or I would have looked him up.
I wish I would have got to see him more over the years.

A great memory of mine that always brought humor to me was when Joe as a classmate in the 5th grade at Franklin grade school, he told the class that next Monday he would stand on one hand and whistle Dixie. We all could not wait for this exhibition.
Monday came and Joe did exactly what he said he would do, however it was completely different than what we had all expected.
He put one hand on the floor and then stepped on it and whistled Dixie. We all had a great laugh.

My thoughts and prayers to the family. I was shocked to see Joe had passed away. He was a good neighbor.
