So sorry to hear of Uncle Joe's passing. I will always remember him for his sense of humour and quick wit. The last time we visited he got up in the morning and said he was going to the office, it took me a minute to realize that he was actually going to Tim Hortons for coffee with his buds..... What a guy....til we all meet again. Love, Barbara and family.

My sincere condolence to you Nora and your family. I had many joyous talks with Joe over the years and later years when I would see him at Tim's. Coming from New Victoria, we had allot to talk about. To my dismay, I just found out this morning, that, the man I was waving to, almost everyday or other day, in the little red car, parked on Currin, for the passed 3yrs, was Joe. Having just recently moved to Currin did not yet know all my neighbours. So sad that I found out too late. I hope the support of family and friends help you all thru this sad time. Love Reva Sweeney.
