Joe "DH"  Bolivard  of Ft. Pierce, Florida passed away on Tuesday, March 2nd.  He was born to Joseph and the late Norma (Brunson) Bolivard on September 4, 1956.  He graduated from Forestville High School in 1974.  He married Cindy (Murray) who is the love of his life and best friend of 37 years.

In his younger days, you would find Joe bartending with great enthusiasm and jokes for all.  Joe worked out west for a drilling company and fire suppression company.  He was the previous owner of the "Tavern on the Mall" and a car salesman. "Joe could sell a used car to a used car salesman."  After moving to Florida in 1994, Joe continued his career in sales and was owner of his Shirt and Hat company.  Joe was very passionate for our country and military.  He was an avid WWII buff.  He participated in the "Honor Flight" program.  His hobbies were golf, boating, motorcycling, traveling and of course beer.  He was a past member of the St. Peter's Church in Forestville, Dunkirk Conservation Club and the Fredonia Fire Dept.  Joe will forever be remembered for his red hair, freckles, humor, endless jokes and making everyone feel special.

Joe is survived by his father,  Joseph (Wilma), step-son Kent Christopher of Fredonia, NY, sisters Sandy(Carter) Hall of Forestville, NY,  Janine (Dean) Salzman of Forestville, NY and Kimberly (Tim) Murphy of Williamsville, NY.  He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews both by blood and love and many, many friends.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Vero Beach Humane Society & the Honor Flight Program @ www.honorflight.org

A celebration of life will be held sometime this summer in Forestville, New York.  Details to follow.
