    I remember great games of cards around the huge table Joe made in the kitchen. There was lots of laughter & great tasty meals too! I remember ‘Bumper’ had to have his own deck of cards or he’d steal any card on the table! I remember hanging wallpaper with Marie in the kitchen. There was wee bunches of red cherries that sure looked good on the roll of wallpaper! Joe came home & almost went cross-eyed! The paper came down! I remember the pain in Joe’s eyes from his accident injuries as a young man with a damaged spine that surgery couldn’t repair. The door was always open at Maltby’s and no one was turned away. Rest in peace Joe.
    My sincere condolences to Marie and to their children, spouses & grandchildren. Maryann, Greg, Ray, Eddie, Michelle & Joey

    Dearest MARIE and the Maltby clan. We were your neighbours for over 40 years. Through thick and thin, sickness and health, growing our families and having one heck of a ride doing it. Joe was not only the guy next door, but also our handyman. He could do ANYTHING. You Mentored your family as well as ours on how to DIY everything. No job too big. Even getting birds and squirrels out of the house. We new this day was coming but you cannot prepare for the terrible loss we feel for your family and ours. Your family will heal in time and memories will keep you front and centre. Rest well Joe, till we meet again.
