To Joe's family. My deepest sympathy for your loss at this time. I met Joe in 2011 when Ann and I were out West for xmas. He treated me like family when I met him and I respected him very much, loved his tails and company for the short time we were together. I am having a beer in his memory right now ( Cheers Joe) you will be missed. Linda and family I wish there was something I could do to ease your pain at this time, however I can't. Ann Marie and I will be thinking of you always.

To The Family Of Joe Aitchison : With Deep Sadness today I read an unbelievable text from Linda with shock. We are so very sorry to hear of the passing of Joe. A sudden shock to all who knew him. Joe. You were a very loving family man who took life in the fullest. A man with a cheery smile. Always helped everyone who needed it. Life ended too soon for you and only God knows why. It was about 1978 when Albert first knew you from Olgilvie Flour Mill. You always gave everyone a lift whenever they needed it. I met Linda in 1980, the day of my fist marriage. That began a great friendship. Celebrated New years Eve at my house with lots of laughter and a terrific time had by all. New Years Day dinner was always enjoyed. Our two families always kept in close touch. A terrific friend with a bright smile for everyone. In 2011, Harry and I had a terrific visit with you and Linda when we were in Alberta that Christmas. You treated Harry just like family. Harry really thought you were a super guy. We are sitting here with lumps in our throat. Thoughtful prayers and Condolences to Linda and the whole family. You will be missed, especially by Linda, your Loving wife, children, (Robert and Kim) grandchildren, and many more. God has taken you home. May God Bless You! RIP Joe. Ann Marie Williams and Family
