JOSEPH (JOE) WOHL Peacefully in the early morning hours of Tuesday, October 10, 2000 at Seven Oaks Hospital, Joe passed away at the age of 79 years. Joe will forever be remembered by his loving wife Betty, sons Howard (Carol), Sandy (Barbara) and his dear grandchildren Marnie, Michael and Barry. Also to cherish his memory are his brothers-in-law Earl (Adele), Walter (Kerry), Jerry (Gloria) and his many nieces and nephews. Joe was a very generous man who gave of his personal and professional skills whenever and wherever he could. Joe served in numerous capacities within the Jewish and greater communities including Presidencies with the West Kildonan Lions Club, Winnipeg Chapter of Sertoma, Winnipeg Brandies Lodge and the Electrical Contractors Assoc. of Manitoba. He was a founding member of the Bnai Abraham Synagogue and for many years he entertained at the Selkirk Mental Hospital "a friend in need is a friend indeed". Always there to help anyone and everyone, Joe contributed quietly to many charities. Joes wit and infectious sense of humour were appreciated by all those whose lives he touched. His love of music and curling occupied much of his leisure time as well as his playful and loving times with his children and grandchildren. Dad greatly appreciated the dear friends who visited him regularly in the few years after his stroke. The family expresses much thanks to Drs. S. Koven and J. Lezack and the very compassionate staff on U4, 3rd floor at Seven Oaks Hospital. Funeral services were held at the Bnai Abraham Synagogue. Sincere thanks to Rabbi Emeritus P. Weizman for helping the family through their difficult time. Pallbearers were Michael Wohl, Barry Wohl, Earl Moss, Walter Morris, Jerry Moscovitch and Sheldon Forgan. Donations may be made to a charity of ones choice.
