It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of a wonderful husband, father grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. Joe passed away at his residence, Oct. 3, 2014, with his loving family by his side. Born in Dominion, he was the son of the late Duncan and Claire (McLeod) Cameron.
Joe was a military man, serving 11 years in the Canadian Armed Forces; during these years he served two terms (14 months) overseas during the Korean War and was awarded an Honorable Medical Discharge due to injuries he incurred there. He was a loyal 38 year member of the Royal Canadian Legion, most recently with Branch #3, Glace Bay.
He was a very hardworking man and his true passion was gardening; wherever Joe lived he always had beautiful gardens, he also enjoyed listening to Country & Western music. Joe was a very generous, gentle and good natured man with great integrity, who always put others before himself. He was a loving husband and father who knew the true meaning of family.
Joe and Veronica loved nothing more than spending time with their grandchildren. He loved them with all his heart and soul; they will truly miss their Gramps.
Joseph will be sadly missed by his loving wife, Veronica (White), at home; daughters, Geraldine Marie Crosby, Karen Lynn (Robert) Pepper; son, Joseph Alexander Cameron Jr.; grandchildren, Paul and Michelle Crosby, all of Ontario. He is also survived by sisters, Margaret McCarthy, Gina Farrow, Eileen McInnis, all of Dominion, Mary MacNeil, Ont., Theresa Hallet, USA; brother, Greg (Maureen), Ont., numerous nieces, nephews and friends.
