I met Jo late in her life, when she came to live at Palisade Gardens. I liked her immediately because Jo was a force to be reckoned with...a smart woman who knew what she wanted, knew what she liked and what she didn't....plus, she had a clever sense of humour. I liked her style! I liked her. May she rest in peace. Condolences to her family and friends.
Gracious lady always friendly good times as competitor from Primeau Men’s and Boy’s Wear next door.. Thoughts and prayers with the nieces and nephews. Bob and Susan Clement
I loved having Jo for my bridge partner, she was usually tolerant of my stupid mistakes…not always though. RIP dear Jo.

Dear Norm, Diana, Marianne and families I was saddened to hear of your Aunt Jo’s passing. She was a great lady, so friendly and kind. Lived a long and full life. Keep your happy memories close. Thinking of you all.
I worked for Jo for many years before moving back to Toronto. During that time we became friends and I cherished the time I spent with her. To her family my sincere condolences. She was a tough lady but fair, loved her dogs, family and friends. May the many memories you have of time spent with her help confort you in your time of grief.
