Joseph Rene "Joe" Tardif

My name is Mike McBride, I was a high school buddy and we were friends in constant contact until I moved away in the late 70's. We talked on the phone and when My father passed we kept in touch for a few years on the Phone. I had not heard from him and was shocked when another friend from high school saw in the QA. his Passing.

I want your family to know he will be deeply missed by me. I have met you all from time to...

My condolences to the Tardif family with your loss. Met Joe about 1965 when they summered at Lofall on Hood Canal. Their cabin was next to the Nielsen families. Our house just on other side of Lofall also on the water. Spent lots of time in our boats traveling the canal and many games of golf at Wing Point Golf Club. Missed not connecting with Joe as adults.

Dear Yvonne and Family,
We wish to send each of you our supportive prayers as Joe enters his eternal life. May you know his nearness always.

Joe had a quiet tone to his voice but his actions spoke larger than any of his words as he would always be there for a friend in need.
Gone too soon but will never be forgotten.

"Joe-the-hat," as he was known at our local Irish pub in Ballard, was a lovely man with a lovely soul. We shared our connection with QAHS and growing up "on-the-hill." I'll warmly remember many of those conversations we had over a pint or two, some serious, some not so much.
Joe always had a quiet but caring tone to his voice. His actions always spoke larger than his words as he'd be first to help a brother in need.
Gone too soon but will never be forgotten.
I send my sincere...

I'm sorry for your loss. It is comforting to know that God has given us a promise to see our loved ones again and he longs for the day to be able to reunite us with our loved ones. Hosea 13:14
