Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryJOZEF LONEC Peacefully at the age of 74, with family by his side, on Friday October 31, 2014 Joe passed into God's heavenly kingdom. Joe is survived by his loving wife Sandra, of 49 years, sons Joey (Tracey) and Donald (Jackie) and his angels, granddaughters Kirsten and Alyssa. Also left to cherish his memory are his sisters Maria (Stefan), Olga and Giza as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws and friends. Joe was predeceased by his parents Jozef and Maria, and mother in-law Hazel. Joe was born in Yugoslavia on September 7, 1940. At the age of 21, Joe left and immigrated to Canada in 1961 where he walked the pavement for a week looking for employment, and has worked hard up to the age of 71 when he retired after 43 years from Con Force. His favourite pastime was working on his home and yard in St. Andrews. He could always be found on his tractor or in his garage surrounded by his tools. His famous one string guitar always brought a laugh at gatherings. His time spent with his angels Kirsten and Alyssa always brought a smile to his face. Cremation has taken place and a celebration of Joe's life will be held on Friday, November 7 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Theresa's Roman Catholic Church located at 3597 Main Street, West St. Paul, with Father Michael officiating. The family would like to thank Kelly, Eleanor and Josie from the Selkirk General Hospital for their care and kindness during Joe's stay. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to the Manitoba Lung Association, 629 McDermot Ave., Winnipeg, MB R3A 1P6. God grant us serenity to accept The things we cannot change Courage to change the things we can, And wisdom to know the difference Joe forever our Guardian Angel watching over us Glen Eden Funeral Home & Cemetery 204-338-7111

I worked with Joe (and his son Joey) for 6 years...truly a great man. When I got hired with Con-Force I was the only female on the plant floor at the time, he treated me with so much respect and kindness, I will never forget that! My deepest condolences to the Lonec family. - Posted by: Victoria Bloomfield (Co-Worker at Con-Force (2000-2006)) on: Nov 07, 2014

Truly saddening news. I worked with Joe for many years at con-force and we always got along great. He always kept in touch after he retired and I will miss our conversations. Great man and he will be missed many. My condolences to the Lonec family. - Posted by: Westley Woods (Friend) on: Nov 06, 2014

I am different than the others that spoke about working with Joe as I only did for a very short time. It was pointed out today how many people have been hired to fill what Joe did by himself. We have at least 3 directly related to what he did alone. His experience was obvious but it was even clearer that he was well respected. Our condolences to all of Joe's Family and friends - Posted by: Don Grant (GM @ Armtec/Con-Force) on: Nov 06, 2014

I'm saddened by Joe's Passing, please accept my condolences. Joe and I worked together on many projects and had many laughs together. In my 34 years working with Joe I don't believe I've saw a harder or more dedicated worker. He was always willing to teach and help others especially the younger workers. Joe had many great work skills which greatly helped Con-Force become a leader in its industry. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. It's time for Joe now to rest in peace, he will be always remembered. - Posted by: Ernie Fensom (co-worker (friend)) on: Nov 06, 2014

I worked with Joe for quite a few yrs. at Conforce. A good friend, a great workmate, always someone who had your back. Anytime I would call Joe for anything when I moved on in my career, he was willing to help out and had contacts in this city like no other person in his field. One day we all must take this path that Joe has taken, so until we meet again. Rest in peace my friend. My condolences to Joey and the rest of the Lonec family. - Posted by: Daryle Kaskiw (co-worker) on: Nov 05, 2014
