DELENARDO, Joseph C.
1951 – 2021
Joseph Coleman DeLenardo, of Kirkland Lake, passed away peacefully on October 23, 2021 surrounded by family, after a lengthy illness.
Born to Joseph and Francis (nee Larocque) DeLenardo, Joe was one of six tightly knit siblings. He grew up in Kirkland Lake, and served his community on several boards, as well as being the Director of Finance with Timiskaming Child and Family Services until his retirement.
Joe loved the outdoors, spending as much time at the cottage or the cabin as he could. He was a fabulous cook and loved to recreate many of his family’s special recipes.
Those who knew him would know that if he could choose to do anything in this world, Joe would choose to be surrounded by family and friends. Of all the roles Joe held, he cherished his role as « Poppa » to his two granddaughters most.
Joe is lovingly remembered by his wife of 45 years Debra (nee Murphy), his brother Shawn (Anita) DeLenardo, his sister Tarsilla Deveraux, his daughters Lisa (Byron) Marrello, Kimberly (Brad) Comish, and Christina DeLenardo, his granddaughters Adriana and Layla Comish, and many nieces and nephews.
He joins his parents, his brother Albert, his sisters Corinne Jablonski and Veronica Axcell, and his godson Shawn « Shimmer » DeLenardo in Heaven.
A Funeral Service will be held this week, details to be announced on Tuesday.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to his Nurse Practitioner, Sandra Dal Pai, Shannon Carey from Home and Community Care Support Services Northeast, Kirkland Lake Fire Services, the staff in the Emergency Room and on the fourth floor at Blanche River Health- Kirkland Lake Site, the paramedics, Dr Cano, Dr Bowen, as well as the medical staff at Health Sciences North. Everyone went above and beyond with their compassion and care.
