“Papa”, “Pappa Joel”, “Joe” or “Gramps” as we called him, lived life to the fullest and was always there to lend a hand or tool. One of the things he was passionate about besides his family was the Veterans. A donation in his name would make him proud or even drop a few bucks in the next poppy donation can you see.
Joe was predeceased by his wife Agnes of many years; sister Marie Nixon (Norman) and brother Danny Durand (Hazel). He was survived by his children Marilyn (Rick), Darcy (Cathey) and Dawn (Leo); his six grandchildren Ryan (Sanela), Tyler (Katy), Jeremy (Carmen), Lisa (Jella), Daniel and Della (Ben); and three great-grandchildren Khloe, Mason, Parker and one more on the way.
A Celebration of Joe’s Life will be held at the Royal Canadian Legion Chapelhow Branch #284, (606 - 38 Avenue N.E., Calgary), on Friday November 16, 2018 between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Please dress casual. Joe will be interred at Queen’s Park Cemetery next to his wife Aggie.
Joel will be dearly missed by friends and family.
