Our deepest condolences to al the Kobe family on the passing of Joe. Our family (Willms) lived across the street from the Kobe family and we had the privilege of getting to know Joe, Frances and all the kids! We couldn’t have asked for better neighbours and friends! Josi and I became best friends and I spent a lot of time at the Kobe’s and what a treat! The food (loved it all), the wine (even at a young age LOL), and the fun - those were the best of times!!
I let my siblings know of Joe’s passing and they shared a few thoughts/memories of Joe:
From Gord
Very sad news.
From George
Many good memories, he had one speed, fast. So many things to say and do and not enough time in the day. Great smile, just a nice soul. Last visit with them was Ev’s 50th birthday. Love those walnuts and the sausage! And the wine! So much fun!
From Rick
So many great memories. He was a busy man.
From Sharon
Sad news about Mr. Kobe. He was one of a kind. I can still see him under my sour cherry tree as I’m on the ladder reaching for cherries and he’s picking up the ones I’m dropping. All the while talking and encouraging me not to drop any. Mrs. Kobe would in the background telling him to leave me alone. LOL….It was quite a different experience working on the Kobe farm.
From Dale
It was always interesting being around Mr. Kobe. He could recite the entire history of Slovenia and loved to joke around.
From me,
Always a smile on his face and as Dale said loved to joke around and be playful. Just such a warm and beautiful person! He will be missed!!
Love from the Willms family
