McNeil, Joseph (Joe) Clyde
March 27, 1949- May 23, 2023
We the family regret to announce the peaceful passing of our husband, father, grandfather, and brother, Joseph (Joe) Clyde McNeil on May 23, 2023 at the Foothills Hospital in Calgary, Alberta.
Joe was born March 27, 1949 in New Waterford, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. He was the son of the late Francis and Geraldine MacNeil. Joe is survived by his loving wife of 47 years, Cheryl (Darroch); his sons, Michael, Chad (Nicole), and Robbie (Candice); his 4 grandchildren, Taylor, Payton, Addy and Keira; his siblings, Colleen (Bill) Langlois, Kevin (Darlene), Marilyn (David) Langlois, Ralph (Linda), Sheldon (Aleah), Heather (Paul) Carr, Terry, and his sister-in-law Marion; and numerous nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, Joe was predeceased by his brother Gary.
Prior to his retirement, he was an independent distributor in the dairy industry. Joe's first love was his family but his game of golf was a close second.
In the early years Joe served as a member of the Canadian Armed Forces and was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 15 in Cochrane.
The family would like to thank the staff at the Foothills Medical Centre and the EMTs who responded and treated Joe. Cremation has taken place.
