He will be especially missed by longtime and very special friend and companion Marge Lemieux and daughter Marilyn McGee, daughter and husband June and Bob Dudar. Joe retired from CN Rail as an electrician in March 1986 after 43 years of dedicated service. He was a devoted son and generous man, always there to help a neighbour or friend whether it was to shovel snow or mow the grass or be there by someones bedside in the hospital. He was a true fan of all sports but it was the horse races that he had a special love for. We will miss the card games that went on until dawn.
