Loved and remembered by his Aunts, Uncles, cousins and many friends. Joseph was passionate about traveling and had visited, lived, studied and worked in various countries in Europe during his twenties. Joseph began making music at the age of seven at the Salvation Army Church and continued to be a member of the Salvation Army Band into his teens. Joseph was also a member of the Bracebridge Dixie Land Band, the Bracebridge Youth Ensemble and later went on to making and recording his own music. Throughout his life, Joseph excelled at playing the guitar and trumpet, song writing, and he was fluent in Spanish and French. He touched many lives with his genuine love for people and life. We will remember him as a man who would help anyone in need and someone who dearly loved his family, friends and his town.
