Lenore and family: We were so sorry to hear of Joe’s passing! It’s at times like these that we especially appreciate the gift our parents passed along to us in our faith, and are so grateful you share the same.

It was amazing to be able to view the memorial, prayers and funeral from Mexico, (where we were attending a wedding), and to listen to the stories and prayers. Joe truly was a good man blessed with faith and a wonderful family.

I recently met a fellow at Mass in Okotoks who knew Joe from working in Pincher Creek, and he commented on how highly he thought of him and his family!

Glenna and Derek Logan:

We are so very sorry for your loss, Lenore and family. Joe was a big part of our family and we will miss him. Our hearts go out to you all in your time of grief. Love & prayers. Glenna and Derek Logan.
