Joe is survived by his wife of 63 years, Marianne, daughter Sherrill (Ian), sons Martin and Timothy (Michelle), grandchildren Rachel, Liam (Swayde), Caleb, Rhiannon and Heath and nieces Sharon VanShaik (Rob) and Dorothy Alpay (Hal). Joe was a good man who lived a simple, honest life in Hamilton for 89 years.
