In Loving Memory
of
Darwin “Joe” Close, 84 years, who passed away at home on Monday, April 25th, 2016.

Beloved husband of 30 years of June Chenier-Close. Predeceased by his treasured first wife, Donna Close (née Holm). Joe is also survived by his son Mitch (wife Joyce), daughter Joanne (husband Michel Jonquet), his step-daughters Carole Chenier, Laurie Chenier Hughes, and Debra Ouellette, his step-sons Daniel and Mitchell Chenier and their spouses. He leaves behind three grandchildren, Matthew, Cheryl, and Stefan, and many step-grandchildren and great-grandchildren. A lifelong resident of Capreol, Joe retired as a conductor for CN in 1987. An avid curler and golfer Joe cherished every moment with family and friends. The strength, courage, and determination he displayed when dealing with his most recent illness are only a few of the many qualities we can hope to aspire to. As a man of faith, we are comforted in knowing he has found peace.
