I'm still at a loss over Joe's passing. : (
Here
are photos of them at my house delivering my shipment during the
aftermath of a CAT 4, almost 5 Hurricane that swept through my town
in Northwest Florida. Poor Joe was already in route and the storm hit.
They hung out on the way down to be allowed to be allowed into my
area.
One
of the pictures you can see me taking pictures driving looking at
the storms path, while his truck was behind me. (Sideview mirror )
I was so amazed at the landscape, how much was torn up, etc. When we arrived to
my house, he was so sweet. He just hugged me and said, "That ride must
have been awful for you, to see such a beautiful area torn up, but let me
tell you what, (in his sweet accent) we are gonna get you set up and on your
way*with his reassuring smile*)
As soon
as he said those words, my electricity in the house was restored! He said
"Now that's the power of prayer"
Those
10 minutes meant the world to me. The move meant the world to me but he was so
sweet, calming and reassuring that it did feel ok.
He
was a sweet, kind and happy soul. I am truly sadden by his passing.

After joining Arpin three seasons ago, I'm still amazed at how much respect Arpin Van Lines treats it's emoyees,contractors, and associates. I've never seen a company give so much, foster as much growth, and show so much selflessness and concern for others. It's truly amazing to see.

Thank you, Cindy for sharing those memories. Joe was my big brother and I went on a few road trips with him. He made me love the road and what he did. He was a remarkable brother, uncle, friend and person. Thank you, again.
Thank you, Cindy for sharing this. Joe was my brother and I was fortunate enough to travel with him a few times and help out. He was a great brother, uncle and friend. He loved his profession and the people he met through it. Thank you, again.
