GLENBURN – Joseph Morin Sr. of Pushaw Road, 82, died Sept. 17, 2005. He was born July 24, 1923, the son of Peter and Alexandria Morin. He was one of six children. Joseph worked for many years on the family farm in Glenburn. He then started a construction company, Joe Morin and Son, followed by 14 years at the University of Maine until he retired in 1997. He married Belva G. Archer, April 17, 1945, and were married for more than 59 years. Belva predeceased Joe in September of last year. On their 50th wedding anniversary they spent two weeks in Hawaii with other family members and later enjoyed a cruise to the Virgin Islands. Joe loved to watch boxing on TV and especially enjoyed the many hours keeping the family estate looking beautiful. Friends and family always said when he mowed his lawn it looked like a golf course green and always commented on his very dark tan from working outside most of his life that he had all year round. He is survived by his daughter, Betty Lou Trufant and her husband, Ronald, of Windham; one son, Joseph Morin Jr. and his wife, Sharon, of Glenburn; one granddaughter, Darcelle A.
