We’re so sorry to hear of Joe’s passing ! We knew Joe as a good friend and fellow Lion for over 40 years. It has been an honor to work alongside Joe in many Lions projects – most notably the Nobleton Seniors Christmas Dinner each year. Joe was always in charge and made it an annual success. Thank you Joe for the many good times we enjoyed! Marjorie and I extend our heartfelt sympathies to the family. May the memories of all our good times with Joe ( and Bernice ) help us thru this difficult time. God bless. Dr Elwood and Marjorie Hurst and Christne, Vanessa and Jocelyn.

George Leighton
My heart felt condolences to the family.
I will never forget working on the farm with grand ma and her sister in the green houses .
I enjoyed the hard work and Joey teaching me to drive the tractor to plow the fields until I hit his truck with the discer trying to avoid hitting his big German Shepard dog. OOOPS.
I remember him making me ride home in the back of his truck because I smelled like rotten onions because grandma stuffed them in my t shirt.
I really did not like shovelling coal in the giant furnace, but he told me it built character….yeah.
He was a good man.

Thoughts are with you all. Joey was such a caring and supportive person and will be missed by all.
He was a very important part of our family and was always there for us and our parents. He was like our second father. We have so many great memories at the farm (in the greenhouse), the cottage and family gatherings
He will be at peace now being reunited with Bernice.
There may even be some beer, playing cards, and having a cigar with Dad.

Goodbye old friend.
It was so nice to have known you for over 50 years. You were a great member of the Nobleton community and a great Nobleton Lion, keeping us on our toes over many years. Will miss you for looking after the Seniors Christmas dinners, selling our Lions tickets at the plaza, and our weekly poker that you really enjoyed. Always liked your smile.
Thinking of you and wishing the family our deepest condolences.
Doug and Colleen Sutherland

Our deepest condolences to Joe’s family on his passing. We will always remember him as a loving family man and a staunch supporter of making things better for the people of Nobleton. He knew so many people in town because he wasn’t afraid to start the conversation with them whether to sell draw tickets or to invite them to Lions functions. We will miss his smile.
Ron Jones
My condolences to the family for the passing of Joe. So sorry to miss the meeting at Egans. Joe was such a great person and I never met him that I didn’t feel better afterwards.
He was one of the stalwarts of the Nobleton Lions Club and was always available to get behind what ever project we were working on. He will be missed by everyone that knew him. Wonderful guy!
The Coletta Family
We will miss Joey being such a pillar of our families. So many good memories of both Joey and Bernice. Rick and I enjoyed everyone stopping by to check up on us here at our shops too. Joey was always the the one we would stop what we were doing, to go sit with, and catch up. We have been blessed to have such an amazing patriarch all these years. He will be missed by so many within the community, but sorely missed by all of us.
Much love,
Rick, Brenda, Cory, Kayla and Christopher Coletta

Nancy Hopkinson
Joe Tasca was a very friendly guy that we often saw at the Nobleton Plaza selling tickets for Lions’ Club activities. When Susan Beharriell pointed out that the Township was looking to name its community park, my husband Alan suggested Tasca Park. Both Joe and his wife Bernice were so involved in community activities. I contacted the Women’s Institute and the Lions Club and those groups agreed that it was a great choice to have Tasca Park. We all wrote letters to the township and the rest, as they say, is history. Joe always supported Nobleton United Church’s fundraiser dinner (I have attached a couple of pictures). Joe was upset that the Township would consider removing the heritage designation on the Nobleton Community Hall. He helped to get a letter written opposing the demolition of this worthy building and invited others to sign it. his efforts helped to save the Hall. He was relieved to hear the recent news that the Hall was saved.
Donna Scott
So incredibly sorry to hear of Joe’s passing. Not living in the area anymore it takes a while to hear news.
Joe and Berniece were an incredible couple to know, and I am happy to know that they are together again.
