Joe, a native of Abbeville and a resident of Patterson, passed away at his 
residence on February 24, 2014 at the age of 68.

Joe was a loving father and grandfather. There was nothing he loved more than 
spending time with his grandchildren. He enjoyed gardening and was so proud of 
the fruits and vegetables he grew. He also enjoyed fishing, hunting, and being 
outdoors. He was a loyal employee of McDermott as a Senior welder for over 30 
years. He was also a Veteran of the United States Army where he honorably 
served in Berlin, Germany after completing training at F. Company 40th Armor 
Brigade as an M47/M48/M60 Tanker. SGT William Joseph Lege' was Honorably 
Discharged from service on 25 Feb 1971.

It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God 
that such men lived.
George S. Patton
