Joseph Canady Obituary

Joseph L CANADY II "Pepperoni Joe" Joseph Canady, age 74, left us on Saturday June 4, 2011 with friends and family by his side. He was born on April 3, 1937 in Oklahoma City, OK. to Joseph and Verda Canady, the eldest of three sons. Possessing a strong and prideful work ethic, he enjoyed a 33 year career as a journeyman machinist at Belshaw Brothers in Seattle, WA. He loved motorcycles, classic cars and was a long time member of the Resurrection Motorcycle Club. Joe lived a colorful life, having a unique gift of gab, crazy sense of humor and an infectious laugh. He will be lovingly remembered as "one of a kind." He is survived by his wife of 27 years, Sharolyn, sons: Joseph III (Laurie), Tony, Troy, daughters Debbie (Jim), Brenda (Howard), Teresa and his brother James, 11 Grandchildren, and 1 Great grandson. He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother Eddie. A Celebration of Joseph's life will be held June 12, 2011 at 2:00 PM, at the Center at Norpoint, 4818 Nassau Ave. NE, Tacoma, WA 98422.
