We were shocked to hear of Joe's sudden passing. We had the pleasure of getting to know Joe as he would spend hours sitting and visiting with Jamie in the chemotherapy suite and at home. He always had that bright sense of humor and was usually seen carrying a box of delicious donuts into our house when he would come to visit. He will be greatly missed.

Joe was a great friend and I will miss him very much. We had a lot of adventures together starting from our wrestling days and helping to establish the Sault wrestling club to antiquing and frequent trips to the comedy club (which might have included a bubbly beverage or 2). He always picked the route without the canoe on it (he'll know what I mean). My sincere condolences to the family. RIP Joe.

I don't even know where to begin Matt, Shane & Wendy Jo, I am so sorry for your loss. I will never forget living with you guys for my first year of college & your dad teaching me so much about photograghy & me trying to teach your mom how to knit. Lol I'll never forget the day the dog (forgot her name had pups under my bed & I had to get your dad up at 4 am to see what the noise was). Many fond memories living with you all for a year, from hockey, to cadets, & much more. Your dad was a great guy & will truly be missed. Remember all the values he taught you as he was a strong man. Love to you all cousin Sharlene
