Don “Joe” Dennis Simpson
1924-2017
Don “Joe” Simpson ,92, of Hillsborough passed
away on Friday, February 10th, 2017 at Forest Dale Home surrounded by
his loving family.
Joe was born in Surrey, Albert County on December 1st, 1924
the son of the late Lloyd and Lavangie (Terris) Simpson.
He owned and operated Simpson’s Grocery in Hillsborough for
many years. He was known for his kindness and generosity in
the community, making lots of deliveries to those who
couldn’t get out. Joe had many skills and when he retired
from the store he worked as a carpenter and enjoyed wood
working. He really enjoyed the outdoors and being in
nature. He could be found driving his four wheeler all over
the county. He loved his family especially his grandchildren
and great grandchildren, he would do anything for them. He
will be remembered for his great sense of humor and that little smirk
when he was teasing. Joe felt blessed to have had the
support of his family and the fact that they kept him home for three
years and looked after his every need when he was failing in health,
it meant the world to him. He will live on in our hearts
forever.
He will be deeply missed by his beloved wife, Lorna
(McKinley) Simpson; daughters, Judy Simpson of Hillsborough and Rhonda
Carter (Kent) of Shediac Bridge; son, Dennis Simpson (Donna) of
Hillsborough; his treasured grandchildren, Donn (Julie), Shawn
(Janice), Melissa (Shane), Jeremy (Sarah) and Andrea Maillet (Jamie);
his precious great grandchildren, Robin (Joey), Mitchel, Alexander and
Zoey; brother, Vaughn “Bun” Simpson, sister, Muriel Hawkes
and sister-in-law, Annie Simpson all of Hillsborough. He
will also be missed by several nieces and nephews.
Besides his parents he was predeceased by his
granddaughter, Kimberly Dawn; brothers, Glendon “Dick”,
Curtis, Royden “Ted”; sisters, Marion, Shirley and
Ruby.
Honoring Joe’s own request there will be no
visitation. A Memorial Service and Celebration of his life
will be held at the Albert County Funeral Home on Wednesday, February
15th, 2017 at 2:00pm with Pastor Leonard Geldart officiating. The
