We are truly saddened to announce the passing of a father, a brother, a grandfather, an uncle and a companion to those who were blessed and honoured to know him. Dr. Joseph Tazzeo, surrounded by a family who cherished and loved him, made his way from our world to the place he needed to be. March 22, 2024, marked the date he joined his beloved, Shirley, and son, Jamie, in a place where a man of his faith will truly rest among the family who cleared a path before him.
Joe had an ability to love and be loved. His serious yet jovial demeanour inspired those closest to him. Be everything you can be, succeed, do well, but smile and laugh along the way. This is a mantra he was able to instill in his sons and the families they created.
Summers in Muskoka and winters in Naples were important to Joseph. He golfed, he boated, he turned wood into art, he turned rock into a cottage, he created a paradise, but only those who truly knew him understood his true passion — family. He did all this for them.
He will be sorely missed by the privileged few and the privileged many — those who called him father, husband, companion, grandfather and doctor. Heaven just became a better place.
