I just heard that Joe had died, and am so sorry to hear of his passing back in January. The Worobec home was like a second home to me back in my teens. I always felt so loved and welcomed, and I will cherish these memories always.

My condolences to the Worobec family. Although I have known Joe for only 4 short years, I will cherish the frienship and memories we shared. From his days in the Navy and his journey through life. Truly a remarkable distinguished gentleman.

To the Worobec Family, may I express my sympathy to all. My husband Andy was a long time friend and associate of Joe - going as far back as their time at the University of Alberta. More recently, in visiting another friend at the Arbour Lake Centre, I was able to enjoy a short visit with Joe. Sincerely, Elva Dame
