To Joe's Family !!!!! Joe Was A Prince Of A Man and You Can Be Very Proud Of Him !!!! I was a spare operator when I first met Joe in 1966 and Until 1986 When I was transferred to Toronto Joe Always Looked After Me When I was dead heading between Capreol and Pembroke !!!! He Had A Heart Of Gold And Always Had A Smile !!!! He Was A Great Railroader And A Joy To Work With !!!! As A Train Dispatcher I Could Always Depend On Joe To Do A Good Job !!!!! He Will Indeed Be Missed By All Who Knew and Loved Him !!!! Rest In Peace Joe !!!!!! "Those we love must someday pass beyond our present sight...must leave us and the world we know without their radiant light. But we know, that like a candle their lovely light will surely shine to brighten up another place more perfect...more divine. And in the realm of Heaven where they shine so warm and bright our beloved ones live forevermore in God's eternal light." J. Delore Mulvihill CN Rail Retired & Colleen Mulvihill

I was deeply saddened by the news of Joes passing and my sincere condolences are offered to Joes family. Joe was a true gentleman, a mentor and friend. Having shared many experiences with Joe at the "Huntsville Hilton", I had the privelage to share those same experiences with my son under Joes watchful eye, experience, guidance and wisdom in 2014. Thank you my friend I will miss you and your sense of humour always. Please save a watch for me and rest assured we will always remember you. May all the fond memories we share help those you loved in this difficult time. Rest in peace my friend. Ian and Grady McArthur

Our family is truly saddened to hear of Joe's passing. He was always so kind to our kids, and I was always happy to see him and stop for a chat, even if it was just long enough so he could give my dog an always available treat. It goes without saying the school bus stop will never be the same. Heartfelt condolences. Natalie and Dan and Gavan and Luka

My sincerest condolences. I had the honour of sharing a bunk with him during the moose hunt. He was an excellent hunter, a true friend, and great mentor. We shared many laughs together both in the bush and in camp. Joe always seemed to be able to harvest a moose. His outlook on life and his quiet demeanor inspired others. I will miss him and thank God for the opportunity to have known him and call him Friend.
