Joe was predeceased by his wife, Irene, of 67 years; parents, Jan and Eliza; brother Andy; and sister Yvonne Meechan. Joe was born and raised in St. Boniface attending Provencher School. He joined the Air Force and after worked at various carpentry jobs, settling down at Maple Leaf Flour Mills until he retired in 1986. Most of his time was spent in the three gardens he worked. From this he kept his family well fed for the winter and spring. Joe was always an active member of the St. Boniface Belgian community. He was very involved in the Belgian Sacred Heart Church, the Belgian Club, Legion and the Belgian Credit Union. We bid farewell to our father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother and friend, Joe, a man of integrity. He faced each day with determination and steadfastness.
