MARCELINO (MARK) JOAQUIN Mark was peacefully called home to join the Lord on November 22, 2015. Mark was born, raised, schooled, worked, married and started a family in the Philippines. He moved the family to Canada where he continued his work as a mechanic to his retirement. Mark loved his family, friends, fishing, wearing any clothing in brown. He was a perpetual optimist with his phrase, "We're not getting older, just less younger." Mark's legacy continues with his wife Pat, children Marcel (Marjorie), Jessie (Melissa), Jerry (Marie-Anne), grandchildren Matthew, Michael, Mark, Julian, Cassandra, Cole and many in-laws, nephews and nieces too numerous to list but not forgotten.
