Mr Lafferty will always be remembered as a wonderful gardener and carpenter. His gardens and homegrown vegetables were always perfect. I also recall a story he told me when I first met him, he always wanted to be a jockey and loved horses.
Please accept my deepest sympathy

Memories of Uncle Joe:
As a young boy I would follow him & Aunt Chic up the road and he would have his
collar up & cigarette in his mouth & I would put my hand in my back pocket & a
match stick in my mouth & thought I was a cool guy like him.
I also enjoyed seeing him in his cool 51' Ford, his arm out the window, his cool
pompadore & a cigarette pack rolled in his tee shirt sleeve.
So sorry to have lost him. W e will truly miss him. We saw the live feed & was
so thankful to be able to see the video.
Take care to all the Lafferty family!!
Love, Mickey & Sue
I would just like to say I met Joe, chick and cindy this past March. I like to think it was an immediate connection for the four of us. Joe would always be in his shed in the morning and I would always stop to chat with him first. I quickly caught onto his sense of humor so it wasn't long until I would say good morning little girl. He laughed. He would then say good morning maple shader. I think that's what he thought my name was
Lol
He would ask me about our Phil's. He would Ask me everyday about my pool and would always tell me to get someone to help me. Je said he loved watching the little ones enjoy the pool. He was a good funny and caring man. I had the pleasure of watching him say good nite and I love you every single night to cindy and chick
I miss his presence in their home. My deepest condolences go out to his beautiful large and loving family during this time and for the forwsssable future. Rest easy joe. I hope the big man upstairs was waiting for you with a carton of blue 100s
My sincerest and heartfelt sympathy goes out to the Lafferty family. When I became friends with Lindamarie back in the 70's. I spent many days and nights at her house. Her father used to kid and call me his "second daughter". Mrs. Lafferty would say not second you have 4 daughters shes the fifth. Fun times in the backyard pool and just plain hanging out.
