Son of the late Joseph and Emily (nee Martin) Wade, Joe was born in Shediac, New Brunswick and was a proud Acadian. After his father passed away at a young age, leaving his mother to raise the family alone, Joe left home to serve in the merchant marine during WWII. Sending money home to help his mom to care for his brothers and sisters.
He then moved to Toronto where he married Eileen and rased their famly ending up in Whitby. Joe was a very loving, friendly man with a big heart who would talk to anyone that walked by. He was always happy to help anyone and to share his knowledge of how to "fix" things and boy he could fix anything. He loved spending his time in the garage surrounded by all his tools, tinkering around inventing things which we called his "payventions".
Service for Joe will be held on April 7, 2018 1-6pm at THE ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION 117 Bryon Street south, Whitby On L1N 4P5. Donations can be made in Joe's name to a charity of your choice.
