Joe, aka Jojo was sweet man who cared about people. Family was very important to him and he was very proud of Dustin, Travis, Elizabeth & Sarah! I knew Jojo as a toddler, looked after him when we all lived in Toronto back in the 60s/70s. I considered him my little brother, when in fact we were first cousins. He struggled & survived serious health issues best he could. He leaves us to Rest in Peace, but he also left us with loving memories! In the words of Robert Munch, “ Love you Forever, Love you for Always.” ❤️

I had the privilege and the pleasure to grow up with Jo Jo and call him my best friend. we did everything together and he was part of my wedding party in 1989. We went to school together and we partied together. I will always remember his smile and how much he loved his family. RIP Jo Jo
