It is with broken hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved Joe, surrounded by his family and their love. Loving husband, soulmate, and best friend to Deanna, devoted and proud father to Justin, Natalie and father-in-law to Nolan. Joe was "little brother" to his sisters Wendy, Leslie and Susan, a loving son-in-law to Anne, brother-in-law to Pamela, Matthew, Carey and Janet and a dearly loved Uncle to his many nieces and nephews. Joe was dedicated to his family and always centered his world around them, being with them through every step, coaching his children, being a fan, role model and close companion. He enjoyed his family time at the cottage, relaxing by the lake and loved nature and the outdoors. A lifelong athlete, Joe was good at any sport he played and participated on many teams over the years. He excelled in hockey, winning many awards and also played football, baseball and golf. Joe had a successful career, working in publishing for over 30 years, and most recently at The Northern Miner which he thoroughly enjoyed. Family, friends, colleagues and teammates alike will miss Joe's ready smile and laughter, his kind and gentle spirit and the way he made all of us feel good to be in the circle of his love.
