William Joseph “Joe” Farren
1942-2017
Surrounded by the love of his family, William
“Joe” Farren passed away on October 27, 2017, after
a courageous battle with cancer. Born in Saint John, NB on January 14,
1942, he was a son of the late Frederick and Rose (Terris)
Farren.
Joe was an avid reader and a very gifted man who constructed
and piloted his own Lazair Ultra Light Aircraft. There was nothing he
could not build, fix, or design – a real “jack of
all trades”. After graduating from St. Malachy’s
High School (1960) and St. Francis Xavier University (1964), Joe
briefly taught school before establishing his career at NB Tel until
his retirement in 1985.
Joe will be missed by his children: Sean Farren (Kathy) of
Ontario, David Farren (Tricia), Paul Farren (Cindy), and Heather Spear
(Geoff) all of Saint John; mother of his children, Carole Farren;
brother, Frederick Farren (Janet) of Campbell River BC; sister Ellenor
Muska (James) of Connecticut; grandchildren: Matthew, Ryan and
Christopher Spear, Jessica Farren and Ryan Hughes; nephews: Luke and
Daniel Patterson and Chris and Scott Muska; niece Christine Ashcroft;
and brother-in-law, Paul Patterson as well as his special feline
companion Puss-Puss.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to the
Extra Mural Nurses and the staff of the Palliative Care Unit at the
Saint John Regional Hospital for their exceptional care in
Joe’s final days.
Resting at Brenan’s Funeral Home, 111
Paradise Row, Saint John, NB (634-7424) with visitation

will be held from Brenan’s Chapel on Tuesday, October 31,
2017, at 12:00 PM. For those who wish, remembrances in memory of Joe
may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or a charity of the
donor’s choice.
