B.C. man, 89, has nearly 200 completed jigsaw puzzles on display in basement
Joe Sommer has never bought a jigsaw puzzle, yet he has nearly 200 of them finished and on display in the basement of his home.For more than 55 years, friends and family members have been sending him puzzles as gifts.“I’d come in from farming and put a few pieces in before breakfast, and after breakfast some more. And when I had time, I’d milk the cows,” he said with a laugh.
“I’ve got puzzles that have no border with five extra pieces just to trick you… yeah, it’s a challenge.” There’s one called ‘Red Menace’ which is a completely red, circular puzzle – that was one of the most difficult ones.
