...Joe...u will missed...u were a wonderful person.....u had passion and showed it with gardening and family....thinking of u all....
I met Joe years ago as a babysitter at the Renfrew pool. He brought Olivia often and we got to know each other. He was always so kind and he made me laugh with his wonderful stories. I also remember him being a wonderful and patient father to little Olivia. I am sending you the deepest condolences during this difficult time.
I will miss you. Wish i visited and saw you more often. :(
I met Joe in 2019 at the city's Renfrew fitness centre. He was more than helpful in showing me around. I was often in the same classes as Joe, lifting weights, cycling, and doing yoga. He told me about his Armenian background, escaping from Lebanon with his parents, moving to Montreal and then to Calgary where he worked in auto repair and painting, how he was now retired and how he used to bring his baby daughter Olivia to fitness classes at Renfrew. Joe was a serious gardener, and when I look at the lily of the valley and the mint that Joe gave me I will think of him. Joe was one of the four people in Doug's Tuesday walking group and always had interesting things to say about many topics, such as his trips with Martine and Olivia to the Bahamas and Armenia, his distrust of all politicians and especially how Martine gave his life meaning and purpose and saved him from himself. Joe brought his dog Daisy on these walks, and it was fun to watch him disciplining Daisy and talking about Daisy's personality. Joe will always be a treasured friend. Barrie Thesen
Dear Martine and Olivia,
We were so shocked to hear of Joe's untimely passing. I have so many memories of him at classes at Renfrew - and especially of his love and dedication to both of you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, and the rest of his family.
