I was sorry to hear of the passed of Joe. I had worked with Joe at the Burlington Trout hatchery for several years. It was one of my first jobs. He was always a great boss and friend during that time! He wished me well when I changed positions to become a State of Connecticut Conservation Officer. We still kept in touch though during the stocking seasons, and he always had a good story to tell when I stopped over. He will be missed.

Joseph S. Holyst
