February 21, 2018 By Haskett Funeral Homes 32 Condolences

BLOMMAERT: Joe of Hensall

Suddenly at South Huron Hospital, Exeter on Wednesday, February 21, 2018 a resident of Queensway Nursing Home, Hensall in his 56th year. Beloved son of Susan Blommaert and the late Andrew Blommaert (1990). Husband of Michele Hill. Dear brother of Alison Connolly of Seaforth, Cara Lee Bissonnette of London, and Adam and Holly Blommaert of Exeter. Uncle of Amanda, Daniel, and Braden; Cameron; and Rayne and Asher. Predeceased by his brother-in-law Murray Connolly.

Joe will be fondly remembered for his time assisting with the equipment for the Exeter Hawks, his love of vehicles and Nascar and always keeping the nurses at Queensway on their toes.

The Blommaert family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the staff at the Dialysis Unit at Victoria Hospital, London and to everyone at Queensway Nursing Home.

Cremation has taken place and there will be private family arrangements at a later date. Donation to Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Canada would be appreciated by the family.

    Very sorry to hear about Joe’s passing. I had many chats with Joe at Queensway during my Saturday morning visits with my mom! He was always very kind and he loved a good story. May he rest in peace.

    I was one of Joe’s nurses here at Queensway and I will surely miss him. I am glad I had a change to know him, we had a lot of laughs, he use to tease us and make us laugh. My condolences to the family, I am glad I watch the video of Joe in his years with his legs and in his suit so handsome. Thank you for sharing that with us. I will miss seeing Joe mom Sue . RIP Joe.

    Our sincerest heartfelt condolences to all of Joe’s family and friends. His help with the Hawks team was appreciated. Memories of early years come to mind when Joe could show off at the Rec Centre back in the days of roller skating when he would be weaving in between all those who seemed to be standing still compared to his athletic “hotdogging” moves.

    With sympathy for your loss. I met Joe at Queensway, when visiting my Mom (Irene Finkbeiner) and we often had a little chat there….starting with one about those tattoos! A very nice man handling difficult health issues with obvious strength…he will be remembered…
