Soper Construction would like to mourn the passing and recognize the contribution of Joseph R Jolin. He helped build this company to what it is today. Joe taught me that the boss is always the first man in the hole, trench, or tank, and is always the last to leave the job. He led by example, an example that I still find difficult to live up to today. Without him, we would not enjoy the fruits of a 57 year reputation for quality and consistency that he helped to build. He was a best friend and partner to my father and a mentor to me. Thank you Joe. – Stephen Soper 2 SPENCER NEW LEADER • Friday, January 11, 2019 CALENDAR
