Passed away peacefully on Saturday, April 14, 2018 at Elisabeth Bruyere in Ottawa at the age of 84. He is survived by his daughter Kelly (Stephen Colterman), his son Greg and his granddaughters Mackenzie, Madison, Holly and Emily. He was predeceased by his wife Barbara. Joe led a very full life and many would say he had more than nine lives. He was the ultimate entrepreneur who, after leaving high school in grade 10, went on to build a very successful career in the car business. He was a driven man with a kind heart who loved life to the fullest. We are grateful for the beautiful life he provided and the traits and skills he passed on. Thank you Dad. We love you. We will celebrate Joe’s life with a visitation at McEvoy-Shields Funeral Home, 1411 Hunt Club Road, Ottawa on Friday, April 20, 2018 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. followed by a funeral service in the chapel at 11 a.m. Refreshments and open microphone after the service.
