Condolence: Hello - We, Sarah and Sheilagh (the twins), Martha and Debbe, were so sorry to hear about Joe's passing. Our brother John, out in Galiano Island, was as well. Arnold and Shelagh Crandall are/were our parents. We saw your Dad's picture in the Globe and Mail and remembered instantly who he was! What a thrill, and bit of sadness, at the same time. We four sisters are living just south of Palgrave down here in Caledon, Ontario and see that Pam is in the Shelburne area. We are unable to make it to Joe's memorial service this weekend but would love dearly to reconnect with some of the Church family. Please email me back or give me a call at 905 880 0479 and we can chat. Thank you. And very best wishes to you all...Thompson days were long ago but still burn brightly in all our memories. Love from Sarah and Sheilagh and Martha and Debbe (and John too!)

Condolence: So sorry to hear of Joe's passing. Whenever I went to Sudbury on my way to St. Joseph's Island, I would stay overnight with my cousin Jacquie and Joe always had the most interesting stories and souvenirs of the places that he had worked. He was a most interesting man.
