It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Joseph Holder Jr. who was denied his fight with cancer. Joe openly admitted that he did not believe in soulmates and then there was Flo. After a nearly a lifetime as a bachelor he met a lady that proved him wrong. We never thought anyone could smile so much or be so happy. Born in Winnipeg, Joe lived almost half his life in Mississauga where he developed a very tight and close group of friends. He will be deeply missed by them all, especially his closest friend Rob and boys Mackenzie and Craig Sherrington. In his youth Joe was active in sports with hockey, broomball and track and field among his favorites. He then later fell in love with golf. As a young man in Mississauga he enjoyed racquet sports and developed a love of winter camping, boasting an unbroken string of camping expeditions to the Killarney Provincial Park at 15 years running. He is also very proud that he and his friends 'conquered' an 8 day epic adventure of the West Coast Trail in British Columbia. Not blessed with children of his own, Joe took his role as UNCLE to the tenth degree. His love for his nieces and nephews showed no bounds and there was nothing he wouldn’t do for them. Joe is survived by his wife Florence, and Mother “Peggy”, brothers Bob (Lyne) Dave (Sandy), sister Alanna, sister in-law Linda (Fred), nieces and nephews namely Jennifer (Craig), Melissa (Thomas), Sarah (John), Madeline (Robin), Rory, Drew, Aileen, Joe, Tim, and great Uncle to Joe & Naveah, cousins Tom (Kay) Holder, Catherine (Stewart) Davies, and their families in Canada, and numerous relations in Ireland. He leaves us to join his brother Fred and Dad Joseph Sr. His strong spirit, generosity, and love will be with all those whose lives he has touched. He will never be forgotten!
