Joe Gagne

"Saskatoon Cousins" and Verma familiy, Uncle Joe will be greatly missed by many. I have a lot of fond momories of times in Waskesui with all of you, Joe and your mother.

Thank you to all who contributed condolences, remembrances, and stories to Joe's guest book. Your kindness, your heartfelt words and your shared sense of loss were appreciated beyond words.

Dear Monte, Louise and Peter, Marylynn, Richard and the entire fabulous Gagne family.

Joe was a creative, brilliant man, with a great sense of humour and a very generous and caring spirit. I'm so pleased to know that all of you were able to be with him right...

Hello all my Gagne Cousins:

Dear Allison: My sincere condolences to you and your siblings and family on the loss of your beloved father. His obituary was beautifully written and a touching tribute to his life. I know you will miss him every day but he will always be with you. I am sorry I was not able to stop by on Saturday to pay my respects, but my thoughts are with you. Kindest regards from Sybil and the Lalonde family.
