JOSEPH FRANCOIS MAHUSSIER Joseph F. Mahussier passed away peacefully on Tuesday, December 8, 2015 at the Charleswood Care Centre, just a month short of his 93rd Birthday. Remaining to forever cherish Joseph's memory are his wife of 73 years, Louise; four sons, Dennis (Sharon), Jerome, Michael (Gloria) and Cary (Donna); 10 grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren. On January 13, 1923, Joseph was born in Star City, Saskatchewan. He spent his early years working in the bush camps. In 1939, he moved to Flin Flon, Manitoba and worked in the dairies until July 1941, when he was hired on at the Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Company, where he worked for 41 years. In January 1942, Joseph joined the R.C.A.F. and after several postings in Canada, was discharged in 1945. In the fall of 1942, he married his wife Louise. After his discharge they returned to Flin Flon and made their home there for 40 years where they raised their family. In 1981, Joseph took early retirement from (H.B.M. and S) and moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba where he took a job for several years at Supreme Racquet Court as a maintenance man. He was an active member of the St. James Knights of Columbus, doing volunteer work in the Parish of Saint John XXIII Roman Catholic Church, as well as the League for Life, an organization to which he was very committed. Joseph loved and supported his family and will always be remembered and cherished. Mass of the Resurrection will be Celebrated on Friday, December 11, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. in Saint John XXIII Roman Catholic Church, 3390 Portage Avenue with Rev. Fr. Robert Polz, presiding. For those who wish, viewing will be held prior to the Mass. Interment will follow in Assumption Roman Catholic Cemetery, 3990 Portage Avenue. Pallbearers will be from the Knights of Columbus.

The family would like to thank Dr. Raubenheimer, the home care workers, the Grace Hospital Emergency staff, the staff at Parkview Place Care Centre and finally the staff at Charleswood Care Center for their excellent and compassionate care of Joseph in the final months of his life. Thanks to the friends, parishioners and neighbours who have been a tremendous support over these last few years.

We have lived beside Joe and Louise for only a few years, but have come to care for them a great deal. Joe was fiercely independent and wanted to help Louise with the yard work. He always made us feel welcome when we dropped by, even for just a minute, with his smile and "Sit down!" We are sorry we didn't know of Joe's passing until after the funeral. Our thoughts are with Louise and family. - Posted by: Marilyn Allan and Casey Kucharsyn (neighbours) on: Dec 14, 2015

I worked with Joe and Louise when they were at Supreme Racquet Club. Joe was the best Maintenance Man you could ever ask for. There wasn't anything he couldn't fix! He was so hard working, very motivated and always there to talk or just listen if you were having a bad day. Joe had a smile and a kind word for everyone and everyone liked him. Although I hadn't seen Joe for a number of years, I thought of him often and hoped he was doing well. My heart goes out to Louise and the family. Joe always made the world a brighter place and he will be greatly missed. - Posted by: Karen Proctor (Friend) on: Dec 11, 2015

We've had the pleasure of knowing Joe for many years. He was a very good friend, thoughtful and kind, always ready to help in every capacity possible. His "How are you doing" was always so sincere and ready to listen to what you had to say. We hold many good and pleasant memories of Joe. May you rest in peace. - Posted by: Rose & Oleh Gulay (Friends of Joe & Louise) on: Dec 10, 2015
