Joe was partner in his father’s oil business, Fairlee Oil Service/R.H. Cramer and Son. He later went to work for Agway Energy as an oil burner service technician and then Dartmouth College. After he retired from Dartmouth, Joe worked with his friend, Joe Sampson, as an assistant caretaker for a local family estate.

Joe was a whistler with a light and happy heart. When exclaiming over something he would say “Well, Judas Priest!” His other most favorite sayings were “Whoa Dinah” when someone was stopping, and “Well, Gol’ Darnit” when something didn’t go quite right. He will be remembered as the “Best Husband, Dad, Grampa, Gramps and Friend Ever.” The kindest man, in his company everyone felt special, cherished and loved, especially his family.They knew to their very core that he loved them unconditionally. When asked what was most important to him in life he said “my family and camp.” He had a magnetic personality with a lightness of being and a generosity of spirit who made us believe in the possibilities.
Joe will be forever missed, forever loved, and forever in the hearts of everyone who had the pleasure of him touching their lives.
The family would like to especially thank Arlene Gonthier and Bayada Hospice of Norwich, Vermont (with special thanks to Carmen, Kendall and Tanner), for the wonderful care, support and love given to Joe and his family. Their care allowed him to remain at home with his family and allowed friends to visit him which was exactly what he wanted.
