I cherish the memories of growing up with your family.

We are so sorry for your loss. Joe was a great person and I am glad that he retired early so that he could spend more time with his family which meant everything to him. I felt blessed that I got to know Joe through my involvement on the Board of Directors of the Timiskaming Child and Family Services for many years. Joe was well respected in the Child Welfare sector and in his local community as evidenced by the number of boards he served on. We want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Sherwin and Peggy Knight

Christina, you have so many great memories of your Blue Jays trips that you got to share with your Dad. I’m sure he’ll be right there beside you at every one!

Joe was a special man and will be missed by many. I was fortunate enough to begin my career under Joe’s tutelage, and I couldn’t have asked for better, as he always supported his staff and was not only supportive with constructive criticism, but also acknowledgement when someone went above and beyond. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you during this difficult time.

Joe was a breath of fresh air when he came to work with us at Timiskaming Family and Children’s Services in the 1970’s. His personal integrity from his first workday endured and Timiskaming benefitted from his devotion to the community he served so well. Joe was a true Kirkland Lake son and he set an example for me of how important that is. In a word, Joe was and is the epitome of honest common sense Northern Honesty and caring. Joe cared about who you were and who he was consistently, in that order. His job was to monitor the finances on behalf of us all and he devoted himself totally to that pursuit. His focus remained outstanding and his example will endure. Personally I trusted Joe and was able to maintain my professional balance for many years of service thanks to his example. Of course when Joe asked a favour, I always paid close attention. I can see his smile at this observation. Can’t you!
