I am sorry for the loss of Uncle Joe. I remember him as always introducing himself as the youngest. I went to see him about a year ago at Sunnybrook. I walked into his room and he admitted he didn't know who I was, but that i should come in and he was so cheerful and sweet.

Hi Magder cousins, I was very sad to hear of Uncle Joe's passing. I liked him very much and it feels like the beginning of the end of an era. My grandfather Harry made family a top priority, and though we now live far from most Magders, we love being part of the broader clan. I hope you have many great memories of him to share with one another and comfort you in this time. We will miss the Youngest of the Magders!! Dan

It is sad to see the passing of Uncle Joe. His positive attitude about life was a great inspiration. A sad but also joyful memory for me was that the last time I saw my dad was when he came to see us in Montreal with uncle Joe. They had taken the train together. It was great seeing these brothers still acting like kids when they were together. There is hope for us all!

Dear Steve, Nancy & Sam, We are very sad to read of the passing of Joe. Without a doubt, he was the sweetest man to deal with. He was one of our favourite clients who always came into the office with a smile on his face. Whatever the weather, you will weather it better, if you wear a smile. So true in the case of Joe. We will miss him very much. Our condolences to your family.

We were saddened to learn of the passing of Uncle Joe. He was a wonderful loving husband , father , grandfather, great-grandfather and uncle . He rarely complained even during his stay at the Veterans' Wing at Sunnybrook . When asked how he was doing his usual reply was "I'm fine " That was his life's outlook. Joe will be greatly missed by all knew him. May his memory always be a source of blessings. Baruch Dayan Ha'Emett.

Very sorry about Joey’s passing away. My sister Eleanor and I remember Joey and the rest of the Magders, Witchels and Moses families from the time we spent in Sudbury. They were a wonderful group to be with. Those were happy days. Joey, as one of the younger members of the 3 families, was always a pleasure to be with. He was a fine man and I miss him. Please accept our condolences.

Dear Magder Family: Remembering a man who had a perpetual smile, beautiful heart, told a good joke and would always sit beside the late Sid Moses z"l at Shaarei Shomayim. Even in later years when he would come himself we always would have wonderful chats. Will be sadly missed for he brought goodness into life.

My condolences to the entire Magder family. As a friend of Joe's late brother Yank, I got to know Joe. I enjoyed shmoozing with him at shul kiddushes. More recently, I enjoyed occasionally visiting Joe at Sunnybrook (pre-Covid) and speaking to him every few days by phone, as recently as last week. I will genuinely miss those conversations. May he rest in peace.
