Joe Cournoyer was everywhere in Temple. You could find him behind the counter at Willard’s Store, which he ran with his wife, Peggy, for the last 48 years, and also behind just about every holiday event and ball game. If you called the old Temple information line, Joe would be on the other end. He might have granted you a fire permit on behalf of the Fire Department, or waved to you as Santa around the holidays.
“Joe knew every single baby born, every single graduate’s name, every wedding and funeral,” former softball teammate Rob Hannings said. “[He and Peggy] knew everything about the town of Temple… you can’t be more involved in a community,” he said.
