    Mrs. Bergeron, Rachelle, Denise, Tina and the rest of the family, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Joe’s infectious laugh and wonderful smile. He was always so friendly and welcoming. I know you will all miss him terribly, but I hope that you can find comfort in all of wonderful memories that I know you have of him.

    Uncle Joe, You will be missed. Is it fair to say best uncle ever? Glad I got out to see you a few times the last years, thanks for the royal treatment at Bryant’s. Rest in peace, and condolences to Aunt Jeannette, Denise, Rachelle and all the family.
    love,
    nephew Paul

    Joe and Jean have always been great family friends. As a young child my family and I struggled and had very little, Joe bought me my first Lego set from Ventures and it stoked my interest in engineering, those were the literal building blocks to my avid interest in technology and years later I became a successful systems engineer. Joe’s benevolence was endless and has influenced countless of others. We are all better for knowing him, and remain humbled for losing him.



  23. Madeleine Manghan on March 15, 2011 at 1:22 pm

    Our sincere condolences to Auntie Jean, Denise, Rachelle and their families. Uncle Joe was very special and will always be remembered for his sense of humor, outgoing personality and generosity. We’re so glad we had the opportunity to attend your anniversary party and that we were home to see him last summer when you stopped by. Rest in peace Uncle Joe – we will miss you.

    Love, (niece) Maddy & Chris Manghan

  25. Joe (Butch) and Andra Mercier on March 16, 2011 at 6:07 pm

    Aunt Jeanne. I’m so sorry to hear of Uncle Joe’s passing. Although I hadn’t seen you both but a few times since you moved to KC I thought of you often. I’ll not soon forget your hospitality when I visited KCMO several years ago and least of all Uncle Joe’s tour of Ste.Catherines, River Oaks and Bryant’s. Uncle Joe was the inveterate giver and he will certainly be missed. Please give my condolences to the families of Denise, Rachelle and all the grandkids and great-grandkids. We love you.

    HE WAS A FATHER TO ME. SO KIND, FUNNY, GENEROUS AND CARING. I WILL MISS HIM GREATLY AND WITH FOND MEMORIES.



  27. Lori Sneed on March 18, 2011 at 8:15 am

    HE WAS A SECOND FATHER TO ME. SUCH A KIND, GENEROUS, HAPPY AND LOVING MAN. HE WILL BE MISSED WITH FOND MEMORIES.
