JOSEPHMAGUIRE

JOSEPH MAGUIRE July 11, 1926 – April 15, 2017 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Joseph Maguire: wit, raconteur, world traveller, avid reader, crossword enthusiast, master of Sudoku, gardener, political commentator, and Squire of Glens Wood. A full banquet prepared in Joe’s honour awaits him in Irish Heaven. The eternal banquet will be attended by the members of the Maguire Family who have predeceased Joe: his father Joseph, his mother Kathleen, his brother Brendan (Barney) and his sisters Nelly, Molly and Sarah . What will never be forgotten about Joe is his great and abiding love for his wife of 54 years, Janet, for his children Martin (Kerry), John (Martha), Anne-Marie, and Terry (Pina), and for his grandchildren Tyrone, Dylan, Rhys, Erin, Neil, Kathleen, Claire, Joseph and Chiara. What will never be remembered are the many punchlines to the countless jokes that Joe left unfinished. A proud native son of Mountjoy, Omagh, County Tyrone who left to find temporary refuge in Toronto, Joe ended up staying for over 60 years. He was well- known to customers of Loblaws in Oakville as the hardest- working, and most talkative, man in the grocery business. He will be remembered by family and friends for his energy, work ethic, his great passion for life, and his unique sense of humour. Services have taken place.
