Joe, Janie is helping me put my thoughts into words, cause like you I never had much time for writing; however, I feel compelled to add to your “Tribute Book”. When you left I felt my heart being ripped from my chest. I wasn’t prepared for how this tragedy rocked me to my core. I know I am not alone, I’ve never seen so many grown men cry. In on the backroad last Sunday evening we all paced in silent disbelief, we could not comprehend what was happening - the rescue personal and the ambulance left, we had to go out to Perry’s Cove without you.
The days since have been excruciating, a well loved, well respected young man gone too soon. You may have been 57 years old but to me you were still 30 something, always young at heart, much younger than your old tired body. My heart aches for Valetta, Kayla, Matthew and Christina, Reminiscing and hearing all the stories of things you did for people, the way you made them feel, the impact you had on so many lives has been a blessing. I hope I can honour your kindness and generosity by being a support to them for as long as I’m able.
I loved the parts of your life that I got to play a small role in a scattered time: letting you know when there was kelp in the beach, I will always think of you when I drive by Broad Cove beach and wish you were here so I could call you with the kelp report; standing on the hill watching your garden grow, our lips watering thinking about how good the greens were going to taste; stopping in on my way from Carbonear to have a smoke just because I enjoyed your company; the ways you took care off Edith’s stray cat “Scruff” this past year since she went to LTC; I was glad when you excepted my offered to check on Scruff and your garden when you were away last summer, you were so independent you rarely asked anyone for anything; our trip to Cuba, me and you complained about leaving home we said we would “rather be going in on Dicks Hills”, just teasing the girls, they were right when they said we would have a better time than them; a few years ago we went into the Long Gullies, at the end of ice fishing season, I was the only one who caught a trout that day, you didn’t begrudge me bragging rights, saying in jest, “It’s the only one you caught all winter”; Friday and Saturday nights will never be the same, I loved to hear you complain about having to stop what you were at to come in out of the garden, to get a shower, to come down, (you hated playing cards but that was only half true); there wasn’t enough hours in the day, days in the week for you to do all that was on your mind; whenever Janie harps on me about having a few drinks and smokes, I say “what about your brother Joe”, she thought the sun shone from your ass, so what was good for you, should be good for me. I’m going to have to rework that come back; I’ll honour you by playing “sloop JohnB” on the accordion. I will forever hear you singing “I wanna go home”, like you did in the video taken on the ‘inuksuk 1’.
You were always up for a game, always planning what you were going to say or do next to arouse amusement. Keith has been going around for weeks with key fob problems, buying wrong batteries, God knows what else. I’ve had my share of key fob problems too. Well ….Valetta told us about your watch and your key fob that was in your pocket, when Valetta opened the envelope with your belongings your watch was still ticking and the key fob started your truck… We know you would have loved telling that story, we will tell it for you for as long as we live.
There is one story you told that wasn’t funny, you were serious in the telling, maybe even a little bit uneasy, it will stay with us for ever; some may not understand and will think it nonsense but we believed you when you told us you saw a “token of a person” in the woods in the middle of the day, we didn’t realize the meaning of it till now, Newfoundland folklore tells us it means “ a short life”, your buddy saw it too at the end of the day, seeing it at the end of day means long life. Something drew you up over MiddlePond that morning, a greater force, you had no control over. Knowing the kind of guy you are, there is no other explanation.
When you were 17 years old your father wanted you to go out to Alberta with me and Janie, you gave it a try for a few months, but it wasn’t for you. You came home and never looked back, you “took your chances on those salt water joys”., “you lived a life that was free”, “ you did it your way!” Rest In Peace Good friend, until we met again.

I just made Harriet and Eza’s dinner and included the carrots Joe grew. They ate every single piece on their plate. Food made with love taste better and I could tell as I watched them gobbled up the carrots they could feel Joe’s love. I know Joe loved my babies and it hurts my heart they won’t get to have the love of their great uncle earth side. I will mourn Uncle Joe’s life and all of the “should haves”. I will think of him when I eat moose sausage, I will always see his crooked grin with a toothpick, and I will forever remember his voice saying “loves you Dee” whenever I was packed and ready to come back home to Ontario. Loves you too Uncle Joe. Bite Zions cheeks for me xo

This is one of the hardest things our family has ever gone through. Sunday was the worse day in our lives our worlds were torn apart, never to be the same again.
Jo was the best most reliable, Loving kind person who loved his family beyond everything else. He loved hunting, fishing, moose hunting, cutting wood and anything that involved the outdoors, but his family was always first.
Jo was my uncle even though I was 6 months older than him, when we were small we were always together, we played ball in the church garden, scummying in Little Hangman’s cove, playing down by the Run brook,
When we got older we went to Buchans in the summers which Jo loved, what a time we would have we also travelled to Samana DR, and to Mexico where we loved each other’s company had a few drinks and lots of fun.
Valetta, Matthew, Kayla and Christina I promise to always be there for you, We Love you.
Jo If I had known that the last time I saw you would be the last time I saw you I would have hugged you a little tighter and told you I loved you a little louder, and I would have stayed by your side a little longer. My mind knows your gone but my heart will never accept it. I will love you forever. Laurie and Frank

The day you were born into this world is forever etched in my memory, and now so will be the day you left it. So much joy and so much pain, but some day smiles will replace the tears and oh how I will treasure the memories that filled the years between. I will be forever grateful for our vacations to Jamaica and the Dominican, you never wanted to go but you always enjoyed every minute when you got there, standing by the fish pond pretending you were reeling in a fish, taking the delivery boys bike and riding around the resort, you found fun and happiness in everything. I will treasure our times at the cabin, our weekends in the shed, and our weekly visits to your home so Harold could get his sweet treats. Our family get togethers, the food, the leftovers to take home, Christmas Eve, Good Friday, birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, or just because it was time for a get together or just because it was a nice day, no excuse to small. You loved the outdoors, fishing, hunting, the vegetable garden, but it didn’t stop there you enjoyed preparing and cooking it just as much, and you didn’t mind cleaning up the mess after. What a thrill to see the shed door open and you coming in with a roaster in your hands. All these memories I will treasure forever. Valetta, Kayla, Matthew and Christina our lives have changed forever but somehow we will get through this because that’s what Joe would want. A time to grieve and a time to move forward with the help of each other.

This is My Home by Harry Martin
I have no silver, no diamonds, or gold,
But I am far richer by the visions I hold;
'Cause I've seen the mountains and I've seen the sea,
I've seen all their beauty and lived a life that is free.
When the cool autumn moonlight shines down through the trees,
No place under heaven would I rather be;
Where the wild birds are flying and the caribou roam,
Many places I've rambled, but this is my home.
When I am weary and it's time to rest,
Please take this old body to the place I love best;
Somewhere on that mountain turn my face to the sea,
And let the wind in the treetops sing me to sleep.
'Cause I've seen the mountains, I've been to the sea,
And all of their beauty is like heaven to me;
Where the wild birds are flying and the caribou roam,
Many places I've rambled, but this is my home.
Where the wild birds are flying and the caribou roam,
Many places I've rambled, but this is my home.

It is with tremendous sadness I am posting about uncle Joe’s passing. Joe passed away Sunday having a snowmobile accident. For those who haven’t had the pleasure of ever meeting him, he was our rock and protector growing up. Although he was our uncle, he was more like our big brother. Always there for a bunch of us growing up in the town of Perry’s Cove.
From memory I think he gave me my first sip of beer and dogberry wine repeating for me not to tell my mother because she would kill him. He also showed me the ropes of when we all fished together pulling up the dreaded foots (the heaviest part of a cod trap). He showed us the value of hard work and strength.
I had the pleasure of standing for him at his wedding with Valetta over 30 years ago. I will also be there to carry him to his final resting place. This will be the heaviest and one of the hardest things I will ever have to do but it is such an honour
To Valetta, Matthew and Kayla, I wish I could make this all go away but I know we can all look back and know how he made each and every one of our family and friends life better for knowing him. He is with Mom and Pop Swain now and I know they are all looking down to give us strength to get through this.
Love always and thank you for every special moment you gave us all.

A picture posted here by Jenny shows the moment in time I first met Joe. I believe he was around 9. My Mom always complimented him on his beautiful locks of blonde hair. It seems he was always with us, camping, moose adventures, building our house, and hosting Valetta and him during there dating years.
I was honoured to be best man at their wedding and we have many beautiful memories with the children, as long as we could keep Tiffany from smacking Matthew. There are too many fun and treasured memories to write about. I remember one particular weekend. Saturday night after our few beer he went on to bed not knowing Jean was her busy self and the bed was in a different place than it was on Friday night...what a thump.
I couldn’t wait for Friday and Saturday card nights to come to hear his next story that usually was presented right in the middle of the card game. He was always there for me in ways I could never explain. Nothing will ever be the same. I will honour him by hopefully being there always for Valetta, Kayla, Matthew, and Christina the way he was always there for us.

Joe by the time you were born I was married. We made a life time of memories, you “over on the hill”,me, “across the garden” . My four children were your good friends from the day you were born till the day you died. My grandchildren and your children too are good friends. As a young teenager you went fishin’ with Andrew, Pop didn’t want you at it, ( afraid something would happen to you….wanted you to have an easier life). You were only 18 when he died. How proud he would have been of you, the successful career you had as a fisherman, the lifelong friends you made along the way, the devoted husband you were the Valetta, the doting father you were to Matthew and Kayla, the beautiful house you build over on the hill that became a loving home for your family and a place where we all felt at home too. You fished with Andrew, then Rod came on board, then Jeff, then Wayne. You and Andrew worked together and played together. The two of you had lots of fun, never having an ill word between you. It is stormy here today and Andrew has spent the whole day telling me stories about the times you had together. In addition over the years I’ve listened to the two of you having many conversations about ; moose hunting, rabbit hunting’, birdin’, hunting dogs, ice fishing and on and on. You got a great game out of Derm and Andrew going all over God’s creation ice fishin’ only to come home with none. You on the other hand would go in over the swamps and come home with beautiful trout, in less time than it took Derm and Andrew to drive up to the Trans Canada. One of the last trips you had with Andrew you took him and Derm up to the “long gullies” ice fishing. Hundreds more tales could be told but I will tell this one: You and Andrew where out on the water alone, you were manning the boat as Andrew was trying to get ice out of the trap, when you looked behind Andrew wasn’t there, you yelled out, “Where did ya go? Where did ya go?”, Andrew was overboard tangled in the ice and the trap. You while still holding the throttle somehow safely pulled him in over the side. YOU SAVED ANDREW’S LIFE THAT DAY! For that we are eternally grateful. No one loved as much as you is ever lost, you will live in our hearts forever. “Until we meet again may God hold you in the palm of his hand”

JOSEPH (Joe) CHARLES SWAIN
Joe is our baby brother. Joey.
When mom went to the hospital to give birth Melvin, Jean and I played on our parents bed. Jean and I praying for a baby sister, Melvin for a baby brother.
When he came home from the hospital, we climbed up on the bed again to peer through the rungs of his crib.
We were in love!
When he was born his grandmother (our Nanny Swain) went to visit him at the hospital and passed away shortly after, so began the story of his birth, retold thousands of times. He was the last born of her grandchildren. This endeared him to his brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Mom was 41 when he was born. He was always her baby. He got his kindness and generosity from her. He could do no wrong, he was the treasured one.
Joey was named after his grandfathers, Joseph and Charles he never knew them in this life but knew in his heart and soul…he was entrusted with their legacy…the woods, hunting, fishing, and most of all hosting all the family, extended family and generations of relatives. Everyone was always welcome on the hill.
Like his grandfather our Daddy Swain, his father Earl and his brothers John and Melvin, Joe meticulously took care of what had been left to him. And like them he was one with nature, therefore he was one with God.
He had a profound respect and love for all god’s creation; the hills he climbed, the ponds he trouted, the birds and animals he hunted, every tree he cut, every junk of wood he burned, every blade of grass he mowed, and every seed he planted. He had a passionate relationship with it all.
He always had some experiment or concoction either in progress or on his mind and sometimes much to our chagrin he could talk all day about a seed or a carrot…. And sometimes those stories went on for DAYS! The more we lost patience with the story the more he embellished it. You could tell by his grin sometimes he was wondering what else he could add to the story “to get on ya nerves”. The comic relief we all needed. He played cards every Friday and Saturday night, he claimed to hate it just to torment Harold. Derm and Keith egging him on. Joe delivering the message because he could get away with it. Remember he could do wrong, the treasured one.
God’s goodness also worked through Joe’s love and respect of all of you, all of us and especially Valetta, Matthew and Kayla.
Everything he did, he did for them.
- The caplin he cleaned for Valetta to eat.
- The fish he caught that had to be salted and dried to bring to Matthew and Christina. And served to us all on Christmas Eve.
- The moose he hunted that had to be cut a certain way for Kayla.
- The chickens he raised, all the vegetables he grew and tended with loving care for Sunday dinners with them and Elvie, Harvey, Jim, Hailey and Logan. The greens he grew especially for himself and Jennifer (he loved Jennifer like a sister….as if he didn’t have enough of his own.) …someone else to tease and torment.
Much to their annoyance, Joe also showed his love by instructing Valetta, Matthew, and Kayla’s every step.
He wanted them to be careful about everything. He didn’t want anything to happen to them. It makes what occurred on Sunday harder for us to understand. He was always so cautious, so respectful of mother nature, never taking chances.
Joe didn’t just live, he loved his life. He was enthusiastic about the next chapter; he was ecstatic to be done work, and we were relieved that he would no longer be going on the big draggers.
When he was offshore he was always top of mind, prayers incessantly for his safe return; Please God he will get home safe, Thank God they got their catch and are on their way in, God willing he will be home in a few days, and on and on.
On Sunday we prayed again for his safe return, but it was already too late.
Joe lived with few regrets because he knew the little things were the important things. He had lots of plans. Just a few days ago he was wondering how soon he could plant his seed, to try to get two crops this year because he was going to be home to look after it. Him and Valetta were talking about when was the best time to get the chickens so it wouldn’t interfere with other plans. As they stepped into retirement figuring out how to fit Joe’s lifestyle into Valetta’s dreams.
On Sunday morning he had a big smile, kissed Valetta and off he went. We will never know where his thoughts were, perhaps these lines I borrowed from Harry Martins’ song, “Take me to the county”, will help.”
Somewhere beyond those distant hills is where I long to be,
The rivers and the lonely lakes are calling out to me,
The country was my comfort, my companion, and my home,
All the years I've travelled there I've never felt alone.
If I could only have my way, do what's on my mind,
I'd trade away tomorrow for a ticket back in time.
To stand and watch that morning sun spread out across the land,
And if I only live one day, I'll die a happy man.
Our treasured brother how will we live without him?
We were supposed to grow old together.
Sisters: Janie Swain O’Leary and Jeannie Swain Penney

My Dearest Cousin Joe (Joey)
My memories of you are some of the most beautiful. Well first I would have to say how dad loved you and now I know why...Janie explained that to your service . I was only two years old when we moved to carbonear. So I was a year younger . I can remember going to Aunt Drucellas for sunday supper. I can remember as I got older to watch out because if you had your back turned, you were up to something no good (lol) I can remember sliding in the hill and being told to watch out for the pond . You in the barn, picking blueberries on the hill , and mom telling me about the ferries ... sure she had me made so afraid . As the years went by , you were so tormenting , but always had that BIG hug for me . It was only the other day you came up to the funeral home to see mom Penney and you just had to get that flick in . You are my favorite cousin . Until we meet again , I'll be waiting for that hug . Rest Easy, Joe .

A poem by Henry Jackson Van Dyke
“Gone From My Sight”
I am standing upon the seashore.
A ship, at my side, spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts for the blue ocean.
She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.
Then, someone at my side says, "There, she is gone." Gone where?
Gone from my sight. That is all.
She is just as large in mast,hull and spar as she was when she left my side.
And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port. Her diminished size is in me -- not in her. And, just at the moment when someone says, "There, she is gone,"there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout, "Here she comes!"
And that is dying...

Aunt Valetta, Matthew and Kayla
Sending you my deepest condolences love and thoughts and prayers.
I know that dad is welcoming Uncle Joe with brotherly love… well… he probably yelled at him first.
Uncle Joe has always been there to lend a helping hand. From back in the day, he was always picking up potatoes and bringing in the hay.
And in the last 5 years, being there to help mom. Whether it would be to drive a stake in the ground, start the bike or to help with the wood. He was always there. Carrying away some twigs, or to give her some fish or moose. He was always helping out.
I am glad to have been home this past October and had a change to have a few conversations out on the meadow with Uncle Joe. Conversations that I will hold in my heart until we meet again.
Love Tanya, Scott, and Joshua

Sweet Joey..... I have only vague memories of the day you came into this world, but I will never forget the day you left us. You were a blessing to our family from day one, and, even now after your passing, we are blessed by our memories of you. So many wonderful stories about you have been recalled and shared in the past week. Some of them brought tears and some, laughter. Some stories told of your fun-loving nature; some told of your enthusiasm for being in the outdoors; some told of your kindness and generosity to all; some told of your eagerness to lend a helping hand to family, friends, neighbors, and mere acquaintances. Each story reflected how much you were loved and respected.
You were a devoted husband and father. Valetta, Kayla, Matthew and Christina can be proud of the life you lived, as, I am sure, you were proud of the family you leave behind. We know you tried your absolute best to get back home to them that fateful day, but it wasn't meant to be.
Bill and I will forever remember the hearty welcome we always received when we entered your home, and the invites to supper because you had "lots in the pot". You were very special to us, and we will keep you in our hearts as long as we live.
Loves ya, sweet Joey!

When I think of Uncle Joe.
As a child when I visited Mom Swain, my brothers and I would sneak away to go to the back hall just have a sneak peak of Joe's hunting guns. We would imagine what it would be like to be a hunter. We thought Joe was such big man to be a hunter and wondered what that life must be like.
I always remember him living off the land and being full of fun. When I meet new people and try to explain how our family likes to interact with each other, I tell them an Uncle Joe story.
My favorite story to share is when Uncle Joe went to Uncle Derm's and Aunt Jane's cabin and would prepare it before they came home for Christmas to turn on the heat. When he locked the cabin he put the keys in the mail box as planned but to Uncle Derm's surprise, he left a mouse trap with the keys... That was Uncle Joe, doing anything for everyone but having some fun along the way.
You where the manliest man I knew Uncle Joe but yet with a heart of a child, never grow old my friend.

This was as hard a week as we ever had. Still unbelievable and continue to be unbelievable for a very long time. We put a lot of miles on us over the years camping, trouting partridge hunting ,ski -dooing, moose hunting from in on the big hill and fresh water pond to the northern peninsula. We did a lot of stuff that wasn't exactly legal. We always had a lot of laughs sometimes until we cried and couldn't talk, lots to eat and lots to drink. You knew every nook and cranny on the Barrons, you even wore out a set of hips lol. You will always be in the back of my mind and never forgotten. You were like an uncle, cousin, brother and best friend all rolled into one. You are going to be missed more than you will ever know. Rest easy uncle Joe. Until we meet again.

This has hit our family like a ton of bricks. You were the best moose swoosher by far. I can hear you now coming through the woods saying, "get up, get up." So glad I got to spend that time with you doing what you love to do best but I also can't believe we never got one picture of our moose hunting adventures. So much we took for granted and so much we'll never understand. We will miss you very much Uncle Joe.

This will be one of the most difficult times for me to write; but I must.
Now who will torment me and yet be so kind to me? Who else would cook “fish-and brewis” and give me “fish-cakes” from the leftovers? Who else would “cross-play” me at 120s and force me to give up my best card? Who else would freely offer loving advice and share his meat, fish and vegetables with me? Who else would ask me to be a part of his “woods team” and have me with a “wood-cutting” permit? Who else would invite Diane and myself to the Caribbean and make financial wagers on small running crabs? Who else would be my brother-in-law and offer me “tea and cookies” every week? Joe, you in your own tormenting manner, have been an A+ and I have loved your company and it speaks volumes that we never exchanged any unkind words. These words cannot express my extreme appreciation and love for the way you took time to play “snap” with Rachel; she loved it. Even though I do not like whiskey, in my mind I will share “a smidgeon” with you.

My first memories of Uncle Joe are from a very young age at Mom and Pop Swains, sitting in the living room with his hat on and the long curls poking out of his hat. He would have the crowd of Perry’s Cove boys sitting around the kitchen table on a Friday or Saturday nights. Tanya and I would always try to take his hat and had a fun nik name for him. He would always just laugh and smile as we tormented.
When I think of Uncle Joe I will always remember him tending to his hunting dogs and puttering around in the barn and garden. He got us all started with trying to grow some vegetables although no one was every as good as it as he. He was always helping someone.
Saturday nights will never be the same at mom and dads. Who will feed the crowd of Christmas Eve? Who will I be able to count on to set dad straight? Who will make sure mom has fish and vegetables? Who will try to teach me 120’s...again? Who will have the wood cut for the family? Who will provide the big bear hugs when I am home in Newfoundland. Our family will forever miss you.

There are no answers or anyone to blame - just the reality that bad things happen to good people. Joe was one of the best. Please remember that friends from near and far are holding you in prayer - knowing that in truth, there is nothing much else we can do beyond that. May you be strengthened by the presence of all those who love you. Blessings to all
