He leaves behind his devoted wife, Tanya Elliott; stepdaughter, Sarah Ward; mother, Geraldine Morrissey; and sister, Glenda Morrissey. Joe was predeceased by his father, Glen Morrissey.

Joe grew up in Parrsboro where he made some lifelong friendships that remain today.

He was the fixer of all things (whether they needed fixing or not). Joe loved music and to play a few tunes on his guitar. He was known for his Hawaiian shirts and on summer days he loved to put the top down, crank up the tunes, and just go cruising. On many snowy days he would be found down by the fire enjoying a serious game of crib with a buddy. Joe was a generous man with a soft heart that he wore on his sleeve, and those who were close to him were blessed to have been touched by this.

We, Joe’s family, would like to thank the many people who loved and supported us through this journey; our many family and dear friends, Dr. MacAulay, Dr. Makkar and their staff, Palliative Care team, Dr. Henderson, Dr. Smith, Lisa Weatherbee, all the caring nurses on the Palliative Care unit, Jane Rogers, the nurses in the Chemo Clinic, Dr. Rowe, Darlene Holmes, Dr. Bruce Colwell, Jill Mason, the VON nurses, the Truro Hospice Society, the staff of MacQuarrie’s Pharmasave, the Truro Red Cross, Truro Legion, Rev.
