BEAUSOLEIL, Wilfrid J. (Joe)

Beloved son-in-law of of Bernadette (St. Onge) and the late Earl (2007). Loving brother-in-law of Trina and Al Seguin, Julie and James Hobson and Suzanne and Fred Weber. Will be sadly missed by many nieces and nephews and great-nieces and nephews. Best friend of Larry and Sharron Bastien, Bill and Diane Beacom, Jack Kungel and lifelong friend of Thom Morand. He worked in security for H. J. Heinz in Leamington for the past 29 years and was very fond of all the wonderful people he worked with over the years. To all of his family, friends and co-workers, Joe was a pillar of love and strength, someone they could count on for an honest opinion in any situation. His love of life was evident in everything he did, from raising his kids and playing with his grandkids, from photography to fishing to stained glass to playing his guitar and to his lifelong love of racing. He was a member of the ONDR, Ontario Nostalgia Drag Racing Association, which over the past few years brought all of his brothers together to form Beausoleil Racing. Nothing brought him greater joy than spending time with family and friends and the ONDR was the best of both worlds. He will be sadly missed by his extended ONDR family, especially Rick and Brenda Proctor.

You are truly angels on earth, God Bless You. Thank-you to Dr. Hamm and all the staff at Metropolitan Hospital oncology and Transition to Betterness.
