Margo lost her older brother Joe this week

Joseph Michael Takacs was born in March 1926 in Hungary and died peacefully in his sleep this Monday in Windsor Ontario, after suffering a stroke two weeks earlier.

Joe loved to golf almost more than breathing and we are all very glad to know that almost the last thing he did before his stroke was to play a really great round of golf !

Margo made one of her famous hankie quilts out of a hankie of Joe's, received by him as a recruit in the Army in WWII (today he'd get a t-shirt !) as a memento of his time at this particular boot camp.

I always loved that story and that is what I first thought of, when I heard that Uncle Joe had passed.

Margo's husband Rowland is down in Windsor now to be at Joe's celebration of life at his favourite golf club, where he (and his wife Paula and their 4 kids) spent 47 happy years---- and where he played that last round of golf ...
