He got married in 1974 to Janet and had 3 children, Michael, Candace and Jay. Then around 1984 he met Mary Anne and they had a son named James.
He also had a daughter before he was married and her name is Angela (Jason) Wittig. He drove trucks and when he moved to the island in 2000 he mainly worked in construction until he retired.
He was married to Fay. He was recently diagnosed with cancer and our brother Jim drove to the island and brought Joe back to his home in Okotoks Alberta so that he and his wife Carol Anne could care for him until he passed away August 4, 2022.

The family would also like to show appreciation for Joe's care giver Stephen Clark. Joe and Stephen developed a special bond during the 2 weeks that Stephen was there.
Joe will be greatly missed by his family.
