90 year old

90-year-old man getting ready to celebrate 91 with his favourite things, heavy machinery

PRINCE GEORGE – Some people grow up and love knitting or baking or even your classic card games, but Joe Berlinguette found a love in one thing from a young age, heavy machinery. And not just any heavy machinery, it has to be CAT.

“Everything is CAT. The CAT hat, CAT shirt. He talks about it often.”

– Diane Caston, Daughter of Joe

The love for CAT comes from his work in building roads and there is not a day that goes by that Joe doesn’t wish he could be working with machines again. If he could still work, he definitely would be.

“He had a job in his life that he loved so much even to this day. How many people can [say that]. He would still work if his back could handle it.”

Joe will be having an early birthday party at Finning on November 11, where he’ll get to be around some equipment he loves and celebrate the big milestone of turning 91.
