It is with saddened hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, brother and grandfather, Joseph Prince Cambridge, on Tuesday, June 3, 2014, at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, surrounded by his loving family.
Joe was born in Sydney, Nova Scotia, on June 4, 1931.
Joe is survived by his beloved wife, Cynthia 'Cindy' Cambridge, and his children, Pamela (Toronto), Nadine (Toronto), George (Alberta), Melinda (Alberta) and Janneke (Toronto) and grandchildren, Kyle, Sheri, Peter Joseph ‘P.J.’, Frankie, Christopher, Tanisha, Ryan, Amanda and Hailey-Rose. He is also survived by his sister, Jean Cambridge Hills (Boston), his brother, George (Viola) (Brockton, Mass) and his godparents, Archbishop Vincent Waterman, Lady Isabel Waterman and Whitfield Best.
Joe was predeceased by his parents, Kenneth Daniels and Johanna Cambridge, grandparents, Johanna and Prince Cambridge, and Aunt Amy and Uncle Art Cambridge (Georgina).
Joe was a Gunner of 1 R.C.H.A. in Shilo, Manitoba from May, 1954 to May, 1957 and he was a longtime employee of Chrysler Canada, retiring in 1988. Joe was not your typical senior; he remained technologically informed with his Iphone5S, Facebook account and Instagram. While Joe’s mobility had its challenges, he kept his mind active with self-lead typing and guitar lessons, proclaiming himself to be a professional amateur guitarist. Joe became a master supervisor, world renowned critic, part-time inventor and singer songwriter and was passionate about his Steelers, the Montreal Canadiens, boxing, online shopping, photography ...
“The Prince” left an impression on everyone he met and will be sadly missed by his family and many many friends.
