Obituary
Joseph Paul Roger Laramee
Joe passed away August 10, 2022 at the Selkirk Hospital at the age of 86.
Joe was the eleventh child of Yvonne and Edmond Laramee born on April 23, 1936 in Ste Eustache, Manitoba. He was predeceased by his parents, all his siblings, and daughter-in-law Sandy.
He is survived by his wife Eva of 63 years, children Joanne, Dan (Charlene), Darlene and Darren.
He will be greatly missed by grandchildren Joel (Magnolia), Sarah (Courtney), Alexis and great grandsons Lanen, Carter, Kai, and Pax.
Joe started his career in meat cutting, leading him to various management positions and eventually owning several successful grocery businesses with Eva.
An enthusiastic traveller, for years he and Eva enjoyed spending winters south RVing in Arizona, Florida, and Texas. One of his favorite things was to meet people and share his love of conversation developing lifelong friendships with co-workers, fellow travellers, and neighbours.
Joe loved antique cars, trucks, tractors, owning several throughout the years that he took care of with great pride. This joy continued for him by attending local car shows over the summers with Darren, Joel, and Landen, participating in swap meets, and chatting with fellow “car buffs” for hours.
His deep roots to family continued throughout his lifetime keeping close relationships with parents, siblings, nephews, nieces, and his extended family.
Many fond memories are shared by all, the times spent golfing, snowmobiling, and jam sessions.
Cheers! A shot of rye to you Dad.
A private family service will be held later.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Joseph Joe Laramee August 10 2022..
