Passed away peacefully at home with family by his side on Tuesday, October 29th, 2024 at the age of 89. Dearly loved husband of Florence (nee Plews). Loving father of Ron and Chris. Proud grandpa of Kristy and Kyle. Dear son of the late Vince and Nora Lynch (nee Cassidy), Joe was the last surviving of his 11 siblings. Survived by brother-in-law Larry Plews and his wife Mary-Anne, and sister-in-law Maureen Cruickshank and her husband Elmer. Joe will be missed by all his family and friends.
Joe will be remembered as man who took pride in farming, tending to his hay and cattle. He was a retiree from General Motors and appreciated all things made in Canada. He was a great storyteller and quick to crack at joke, even in his old age. He was a champion of everything his grandchildren did and never missed a hockey game. He was a longstanding member of the Friendship Group and a steadfast source of strength and wisdom to his family and community.
