It is with great sorrow, the family of Joe Burns announce his sudden passing on Monday, June 22, at the age of 59.

Brother of David Burns (Lois), Jon Burns (Nancy), Colleen O'Brien (Patrick), Karen Amadio (Les), Robert Burns (Wendy) and Uncle to many nieces and nephews.
Joe always loved being in the great outdoors, hunting and fishing. His kind gentle heart was always there to help out others who needed a hand. Often giving away what ever he had. He had a great sense of humour and a wonderful laugh. He will be missed and remembered by many family and friends. Rest in peace now brother!
