Sadly, on Tuesday August 24, 2021, Joseph Gallant passed away in the Grace General Hospital at the age of 76. 

 

Joseph was born in Summerside PEI on August 11, 1945, the son of the late Phillip "Zip" and Mildred (Blanchard) Gallant. He was predeceased by his wife Sharon Gallant; sisters Sylvia (Bud) Roach, and Donna Gallant; and brother-in-law Leo Keough .  He will be sadly missed by daughters, Kathy and Kim (Jan); grandsons, Philip and Ryan; granddaughter Sherrisa; sisters Marlene Currie and Cheryl (Lloyd) Waite; brothers, Gary (Diane) and Wyman Gallant; girlfriend Mariette (Lamy); and by numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.

 

Joseph (aka Phil) had served in the Army from 1962-1969 where he also made many friends; Phil, Ian and Ralph to name just a few.  He retired from Canada Post where he had worked for 34 years. 

 

He was not a man of many words in his older years but was a very loving husband, father, grandfather, son, brother and friend.  No words can describe the love and gratitude we have for him. 

 

Joseph’s ashes will be brought home to Summerside, PEI as per his wishes.

 

“You will always be in our hearts Dad.

We miss and love you.

Say “Hi” to mom for us”
