Beloved husband of Shirley Empson for 63 years. Cherished father of his loving daughters Susan and Joanne (Gabor). Treasured grandfather of Alex and Samantha, who he loved very much. He will be deeply missed.
Charming and with a great zest for life, Joe spent his entire 40-year career with NORTEL, where he retired at 55 to pursue his passion for golf and travel. Joe was a member of the Kirkland Seniors for many years, where he had many friends and played bridge, bingo and attended many social functions.
Heartfelt thanks to the Lakeshore General Hospital staff for their incredible care and compassion.
A private family funeral will be held in Joseph’s honor.
Donations to the Lakeshore Hospital Foundation in Joseph’s memory would be greatly appreciated (https://fondationlakeshore.ca/).
