August 7, 1929 - February 1, 2025
In loving memory ~
It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Joseph Mondok on February 1, 2025. Born August 7, 1929, in Toronto, he is now reunited with his wife Cecile and daughter Lynn and son Delton. His son James, and Joe's many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, family and friends will miss him.
He was a very loyal and caring father and friend, who loved to laugh and make you laugh. He was an avid reader, pilot, tennis player, hunter and fisher, and took great pride in his role as inspector and supervisor for WorkSafe BC. He moved from Toronto to Galloway BC, arriving by train at 1:00 am January 4, 1943, to 40 below weather.
He often told us that as he stepped off that train and looked up at the stars and the mountains, he said to himself "I will never leave this place". Farewell, Papa.
Funeral mass will be held at St Peter's Cathedral in Nanaimo on March 26, 2025, at 11 am. Reception to follow in the church hall.
