![]() | Joe GraggJoe served as a bartender for many years at Prairie View Reception Center. His cheerful demeanor was an added bonus for anyone hosting an event at the facility—everyone left as a friend of Joe’s. In addition to his service to the reception center, Joe also owned his own construction company, worked for and retired from the Village of Chatham after 20 years, and started his own lawn care and snow removal business. Joe died unexpectedly on November 22, 2020. We will miss witnessing the joy he brought to others and his friendship. |
