Joe chaired boards of numerous area organizations, including the county library, the county human-relations commission, and the county planning commission. He also provided leadership for health organizations, service clubs, and the Park Church of Elmira. Joe and Martha traveled to Europe, the western United States, Canada, and Africa, where they visited their daughter and her family in Kenya. Joe loved sailing in New York’s Finger Lakes region and hiking the trails and mountains of the Adirondacks and White Mountains.
Joe is survived by Martha; his brother; his sister, Cornelia; children Louise E. and Charles T. Buck; and two grandchildren. The class expresses its sympathy to the family.
