Joseph passed away on July 15, 2015 peacefully in his sleep. Joe was born March 18, 1928 in Claytonville, SK. As a young man he worked at various jobs throughout Canada. He met the love of his life Stella Lucasavich in 1952 and they were married 1953. Joe was a carpenter most of his life and some of his greatest accomplishments were building Holy Cross School and North Gate Mall. Joe is survived by his wife Stella; his daughter Brenda (Mike) Popil and their children Dean (Tara) Popil and their family Madelyn and Emerson; Brady (Paige) Popil and their son Kohen; and Regan Popil; his son Brian Podhorodeski and his children Heidi Bochek (Brad Lemoigannan) and her daughter Avry; and Shaun Podhorodeski; his brother Peter Podhorodeski; his sisters- in-law Elsie Margeson, and Anne Andrews; his brother- in- law Walter (Maxine) Lucasavich and numerous other relatives and friends.

Going for coffee and playing cards were two of Joe’s greatest passions, “seven no” or giving somebody a “skunk” were on his list of fantastic fun. Dad also loved all the small animals that became part of his family over the years. Rest in peace Dad, we love you.
