WALL, Joseph William

It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Joseph William Wall, Sydney, N.S. at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital surrounded by his loving family.

He was the son of Albert “Pat” Wall and the late Geraldine “Gerry” (Burt) Wall.

“Uncle Joe” will be especially missed by many special nieces and nephews.

Joe was predeceased by his mother, Geraldine; brother, John Robert; sister, Sharon in infancy and brother-in-law, Sander.

Joe lived over 35 years in Whitehorse, Yukon and was employed by the Yukon Government. He was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed hunting, camping and fishing with his buddies, Roch Fraser and Mark & Nita Daniels.

After retirement, he returned to Cape Breton and rekindled many friendships. He was a member of the Ashby Legion Branch 138 where he enjoyed playing darts and spending time with friends.
