Beloved husband of Margaret for 60 wonderful years. Loving father of Karen (Kevin) Pepper and Brian Jack. Cherished grandfather of Dylan and Bailey (Brandon) Pepper. Proud great-grandfather of Amelia Pepper and Carson Campbell.
He will be deeply missed by his adopted family, Steve, Emily, Mateo, and Sofia Paghal. Fondly remembered by sisters-in-laws Isabelle (June) Perrie and Helen Jack, the Perrie and Dann families, and the Games Night Gang.
Predeceased by his brothers, Roy and William.
Joseph immigrated to Canada in 1964 because, well, it was raining. He retired from Budd Automotive, as a millwright, after a long and dedicated career. Joseph was a hard-working and incredibly generous man who
cherished his family above all else. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Cremation has taken place. Joe's family will receive relatives and friends for a celebration of his life at Westmount Memorial Celebration Centre, 1001 Ottawa St. S., Kitchener, (519-743-8900), on Friday, January 3, 2025 from 2-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations would be appreciated to SickKids Foundation.
