Passed away peacefully in his 92nd year at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Toronto on Monday May 28, 2018. Beloved husband of the late Helen Eileen Conrath (nee Boehler), cherished father to Chris, John (Kim Barton), Anne and Claire (Andrew Suhay), adored Papa of Joe, Eileen and Audrey and dear friend to so many. Raised in Montreal, where he was surrounded by siblings and childhood friends, Joe moved to Toronto where he found the love of his life, a successful career as an engineer working on both the Avro Arrow as well as with Atomic Energy of Canada and a thriving social and parish life. He was a proud McGill graduate, lover of sports and active member of his parish of Our Lady of Sorrows for many years. Joe maintained a close and loving relationship with all of his siblings right through his life – Raymond (Mary), Robert (Lilian), Kathleen Richards (Reynolds), Patricia Fillingim (Raymond) and Louise Pope (John) as well as his late sister-in-law Kathleen Boehler and late brother-in-law Msgr. Edward Boehler. His most cherished moments were in his retirement days; traveling, time with friends, and on the dock of the cottage watching the loons go by with his devoted wife Helen. He will be thought of with love and missed by so many.
