How do you write about a Life Long Friend who was 'Bigger than Life' in a few words.
We've been speaking of our Dear Friend Joe, in Kind, over these past days & everyone has the same words. Always the most Gracious Gentleman.
When we recently visited with Joe & Linda our stories were filled with laughter, memories & times of having good lighthearted pleasure.
He was a Gentle Giant of a Man with a glint in his eye that would melt your heart & a heart so full of Empathy & Love.
Sorry for yor loss

Linda and Family. It was so sad to hear of Joe's passing. I first met him at Imperial Oil, he was the happy man who met you at the counter working at Area 2 Warehouse. Later his lovely daughter Laura and my son Matt began dating and Matt spent many a holiday excepted as one of the family. He will be sadly missed.

Linda, Jeff, Laura, Kelly...we are shocked and saddened at Joe's passing. We have nothing but very fond memories of Joe. He was the very definition of friendship; always willing to help with a problem; never without a smile, a laugh, or a hilarious joke; and most of all a very doting father and husband. I always wondered how so much goodness could be inside one man! RIP Joe...I know you'll be profoundly missed by us and by many others.
In Our Prayers

Condolences to Joe's family. I worked at Strathcona Refinery in Edmonton and Joe and I had lots of conversations and when I visited Sarnia, he took me around the town and showed me all the fishing spots. Prayers are with the family.
