We are sad to announce the peaceful passing of Joe Denison on April 18th, 2019 at the age of 94 in Kamloops, BC. Joe lived his final year at the Hamlets, Ponderosa, and the Overlander Hospice.

April 18th, 2019

Joe will be fondly remembered by his sons: Dan (Beverly), Dave (Reyna), and Doug (Elizabeth), and grandchildren: Andrew, Shelby and Jeff; Jesse, Luke and Tahara; and Clare and Peter. He was predeceased by his wife Margaret (2000), and siblings May, Frank, Jim, and Charlie. He is survived by two great grandchildren, brother Vern, three sister-in-laws, one brother-in-law and many nieces and nephews.

Joe was the eldest of seven siblings, born and raised in the Northern Peace River area on the family homestead. He met the love of his life Margaret. After they married, they moved to

California where the three boys were born. Joe moved the family back to Peace River, then

Salmon Arm, and finally settled in Santa Barbara, CA which they enjoyed until his retirement as an engineer for Raytheon. Later, Joe and Margaret moved to Kamloops to spend time with family and grandchildren. They enjoyed many camping trips and winters in Arizona where they learned new instruments and shared a passion for singing bluegrass music. After Margaret passed, Grandpa Joe continued on by learning new things, listening to people’s stories, offering help to anyone in need, meeting for breakfast, playing music and games and enjoying conversations with his grandchildren. Joe continued to travel every chance he had to Arizona,

Mexico, Southern California, Oregon, and he even took a Caribbean cruise at the age of 90. Joe was a kind, gentle, caring man who lived a very good life.

Should friends desire, donations to the charity of one’s choice would be appreciated in Joe’s memory. This summer, Joe and Margaret will be brought back to the hills near Peace River where they grew up.
