On behalf of Eric (my husband), Doug & Nicky, and Jim (the Olives) I send you our deepest condolences on the loss of Joe. Although we did not know him very well, our dad (Harold) often shared his many fond memories of Joe and their time on the farm in their younger years.



Our thoughts are with you.



Take care!

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out whom you are or who you want to become. Mr.O'Donnell you were one of those people in my life, Thank You for helping to mould me into the person I am today, you are a true hero in my life.

It will be the little things
that you will remember
the quiet moments, the smiles,
the laughter.
And although it may
seem hard right now,
it will be the memory
of these little things
that help to push away the pain
and bring the smiles back again
We will miss you Uncle Joe, Tracy and family

I have nothing but fond memories of Uncle Joe, especially in my younger years working on the farm with him. He had a kind heart and a contagious smile. I have always had a great respect for him and his way of life, he was a hard working man who loved his family.
