• I was recently informed of Joe's passing by a St. Maurice classmate of his. I am saddened by the loss to your family, as I remember Joe as being a very friendly and personable man. It pleased me that Joe's time at St. Maurice School must have been memorable for his attendance here to be noted in the obituary. I have shared the sad news of Joe's passing with other teachers he would have had while here at St. Maurice. May God bless him with peace, Bryan Doiron, current Principal and Joe's former science Teacher, St. Maurice School - Posted by: Bryan Doiron (Joe's Science Teacher) on: Oct 13, 2022

• (Jason speaking) - I still remember "Little Joe" as a child of about 10 or 11 when I first became part of the family. Since we have unfortunately drifted apart from the various cousins and family branches over the years, these are my most clear and poignant memories. He was a cute kid and always nice to be around. I hope that he has found peace, My very heartfelt condolences to Joe and Eve. - Posted by: Jason and Gina Carter (Cousin and spouse) on: Oct 13, 2022

• My thoughts are with the family of Joe. I had the opportunity to work with Joe at the Assiniboine Park Zoo. Joe was a dedicated professional carpenter whom enjoyed the challenge to construct items needed to ensure the safety, operation and the zookeeper ability to deal with unique animals. No one gets trained to build items for wild animals but Joe adapted and learned everyday and was not afraid to ask. I was truly impressed how he took on projects and completed them with a keen eye on details. He will be missed by his co-workers and friends. - Posted by: John Toothill (Co-worker ) on: Oct 09, 2022

• I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Joe. I can remember the first time I met Joe Jr and I loved coaching him along side his father. Very fond memories of his childhood and sharing those moments with my children/family. I was reunited with Joe as we both worked together at APC. I had many good conversations with Joe that brought us even closer. I will cherish those moments forever. - Posted by: . (Mike Woollard ) on: Oct 07, 2022

• So saddened to hear of Joey’s passing. We started a friendship when he was 8 and I was 12. Despite our age difference we had common interests and I enjoyed his company immensely. He had an infectious smile and was immediately likeable. I am glad we got to connect again later as adults and wish he had more time on this earth. I offer my deepest condolences to his entire family. - Posted by: Nevil Stephens (Friend) on: Oct 07, 2022

• Our deepest condolences on the loss of your dear son. He was a sweet, friendly boy, always with a smile on his face. We remember him as Joey, as we did not get to know him as an adult.

Our heartfelt sympathy for this terrible loss. - Posted by: Alana and Carl Stephens (Former neighbours) on: Oct 01, 2022
