CARDAMONE
Joseph Thomas

July 25, 1932 - July 31, 2017

The family is saddened to announce the passing of Joe Cardamone on July 31, 2017. Joe was born in Haynes, Alberta and moved to Drumheller at a young age where he attended his schooling and proceeded to become a prominent businessman in this area. Growing a family of 5 children, he was a most caring father and grandfather, always willing to support and advise. He coached little league baseball as well as enjoyed hunting and fishing with the boys. Memories of Joe’s good times in life were related to holidays and functions with family, or with his golf buddies on trips and some K40 bonspieling. He began his business career with the inception of Joe’s Delivery Service in 1952. Moving on to the oil industry in 1959 the Texaco Bulk Station was operated under Uni-Tex Oil Ltd for 30 years. His love of cars led him to a partnership in Western-Chev-Olds, which became a Cadillac dealership as well during his time as manager. After the sale of Western-Chev, Joe ventured into the hotel industry. With a group of partners they embarked on the construction and operation of The Drumheller Inn (now Quality Inn) which was operated as a partnership from 1983-2006. The last 15 years of this business was personally managed by Joe and it became his passion to make it successful. Upon the sale of the hotel in 2006 he was able to retire and have some years of unburdened retirement and to deal with his ongoing health issues. He was a loyal member of the Drumheller Kinsmen Club joining in 1955 and holding offices as Secretary, President, District Deputy Governor, and was a Life Member. Also during all his busy and productive years he served on St. Anthony’s School board for 9 years, part of that as Chairman, as well as some years involved with Drumheller & District Chamber of Commerce, and St. Anthony’s Knights of Columbus Lodge.

GISH
Irene Julia

April 5, 1925 - August 10, 2017

Irene Julia Gish was born on April, 5th, 1925 in Calgary, Alberta and died on August 10th, 2017 at the Willow Creek Continuing Care Centre in Claresholm, Alberta. Irene was a generous daughter, loving wife, proud mother, supportive mother-in-law, extraordinary grandmother, loyal friend, and impassioned animal lover. She was an adventurist and
inspiration to others. Irene’s life began on a small farm near Michichi where she was raised by her parents Elizabeth and Frank McBride. On the farm Irene developed a deep love of animals which evolved into caring for many cats and dogs throughout her lifetime. As a young adult, Irene attended the University of Alberta where she received her Bachelors of Education and met her future husband, Harold Gish, at a Sadie Hawkins dance. Their courtship lasted three years before marrying and settling in Nanton in 1952 where they both taught at the local schoolhouse before their sons, George and Gerald, were born. Irene saw it as important to expose her sons to new experiences such as boating, swimming, piano, drumming, and dance. As children, they learned that the world was theirs to discover and explore because this is how she lived life herself. One of Irene’s greatest pleasures was her relationships with Jessie and Dan, George’s children. Irene was an ever-present companion through their childhood and adulthood. She was entertaining, loved without judgment, and supportive of their interests and ambitions. Her heart was always ‘safe’ and ‘comforting’. Irene’s infectious smile, ‘zest for life’, and warm heart will be missed dearly. She is survived by sons George (Lenore) and Gerald, grandchildren Dan (Melissa), Jessie (Jeremy), and three great-grandchildren (Toryn, Xander, and Jonas). The family wishes to thank the staff at the Willow Creek Auxiliary and Carma Ulrich for the tender care provided to ‘Mama Gish’ over the last few years and who rallied in our time of crisis. A gathering in her
honour will be held at a later date. If friends so desire, memorial tributes in Irene’s memory may be made to the Calgary Humane Society, 4455 – 110 Avenue, Calgary,
Alberta T2C 2T7 or www.calgaryhumane.ca Arrangements and cremation entrusted to Willow Creek Funeral Home, Claresholm. Tel: 403-625-3212. Condolences may be
