Past away 21 January 2015 - age 86
(January 26, 1927 - January 21, 2015)
Edison, Master Warrant Officer Joseph (ret’d), Royal Canadian Navy, crossed the bar on January 21, 2015 to reunite with his late parents, William Edison and Jennifer Price; sisters, Inez and Bertrice; and brothers, Ronald, James, and Charles. He is survived by his wife Angela, Yarmouth; sisters, Margaret, New Brunswick and Patricia (George), Ontario; brothers, William and Richard, New Brunswick; daughter Esther, Bedford; grandson Glenn (Crystol); great grandchildren Christien, Justyn and Alyssa.
Joe served his country for 25 years as a cook in various postings across Canada, and aboard nine Royal Canadian Navy ships that included two tours on the HMCS Haida and one tour on the HMCS Huron during the Korean War. He crossed the Arctic Circle in 1957; played hockey, won a featherweight boxing championship, and was a master snooker player. After retirement in 1973, he enjoyed hobbies in photography, woodworking, model railroads, fishing, and gardening to name a few. He had a magnificent singing voice and entertained us with every Irish song that was ever written. In accordance with his wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no viewing. Memorial donations may be made to the Parkinson’s Society Maritime Region, Halifax, N.S. The mass will be held Friday April 10 at 11 a.m. in Stella Maris Church, Meteghan with Rev. Wieslaw Papuga officiating. Burial will take place at the Stella Maris Cemetery, Meteghan Centre. Special thanks to the staff of Veteran’s Place who provided excellent care and comfort to Joe for many years; to the staff of The Meadows who assisted with Joe’s visits with Angela; and to Dr. Julie E. Chandler and Dr. Kenny Yee whose care is above and beyond words. Joe will be remembered for his quick wit, beautiful smile, and kindness. Dad, we are broken hearted, but we know that you are at peace.
