Our dearest Joe, beloved father and papa passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family. Predeceased in January by Alma, his loving wife and best friend of 60 years, he is survived by sons, Duncan (Janis); Gary (Margot); and daughter, Colleen Davidson (Larry); 6 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.
Joe was born in Glasgow, Scotland and moved to Canada as a young lad. During WWII he served on the frigate HMCS Saint John on the Murmansk convoy run to Russia. Joe worked for the provincial government for many years, retiring in 1978. He was an active member of the Royal Canadian Legion and the Masonic Lodge. In his retirement he and Alma enjoyed traveling, Scottish country dancing, and spending time with family and friends. Dad spent many happy hours in his workshop and always amazed us with his creations.
Joe always had a twinkle in his eye and loved to tell a good joke. His sense of humor, generous spirit and warm loving manner touched us all. He will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts.
A celebration of life for Joe and Alma will be held at McCALL’S FAMILY CENTRE, Johnson and Vancouver Streets, on May 10, 2008 at 1:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of your choice.
“We love you Dad”
