âI love him very much and I always will. The kids are having a tough time because they never got to say goodbye or ever really grieve.
â Vera Cartier, speaking of her late husband, Edgar Joe Cartier
His puckish outlook was contagious to those around him, recalls Joeâs wife, Vera Cartier. He always was cracking wise with neighbors in Pittsfield.
âJoe was always outside with the paper in hand with all of his friends. I still see them out there on North Street,â she said.
Cartier, born in Fall River, moved early on to Pittsfield and remained in Berkshire County, becoming a father of four and working hard as a freight handler in the moving business until a stroke in 2003 left him permanently disabled. It did not take away his determination, Vera Cartier said, or his humor.
