This year the Byesville Rotary lost Joe Eagleson, a charter member, to injuries sustained in a work related accident. During the business meeting, the club presented a plaque honoring his memory to Eagleson’s parents, sister and brother in law, Cookie and Steve Connell. Eagleson’s wife, Cindy, was unable to attend.
Carl Keefer, a long-time friend and Byesville Rotarian, presented the plaque. Carl remembered Joe for two things. The first was his workmanship. The second was his dependability. Keefer said that once Joe was employed to do a job, he could be depended on to finish it and to get it done right the first time. Carl pointed out the he and Joe shared several common interests and frequently spent time sharing thoughts over the phone.
Eagleson’s father stated that he “…hoped Joe would be remembered for his good works.” His mother shared that Joe really liked the Rotary club and was disappointed that he was unable to contribute more to the club activities.
Steve Connell, also a Byesville Rotary charter member, related that he and Joe worked together on getting the Byesville Rotary Club established. Joe worked hard to develop the membership and was very good at making sure all the necessary paperwork was completed and submitted. Steve said that Joe was drawn to Rotary because of the Rotary concept of service and community. He finished by hoping that Joe will be remembered for his contributions to the club.
During the business meeting, officers for 2012-2013 were elected. Dennis Harding will be President –Elect for 2012; Shana Fair, Secretary; Chuck Fair, Treasurer; and Scott Lojas, Board member for 2012—2015.
