It’s with heavy hearts we announce the sudden passing of our Father and Grandfather, Joseph Arnold Romaniuk on October 12, 2024. Joe was born on July 23, 1943. He married Phyllis Rosvold on November 11, 1967. Joe was well known around Melfort as the Tire Guy. For 62 years Joe sold tires, and helped his customers maintain their vehicles at Melfort Tire Centre. He went above and beyond for his customers, even treating them to rides in his ’84 Grand  Marquis. He loved the service industry, taking minimal time off and working right up to his last day on earth. Joe loved to spend his free time with his Grandchildren, treating them to Sunday brunch since they were little, attending their activities, especially when there was a rink burger!

Joe loved to bowl, golf, travel and was lucky enough to have one last flight while enroute to an unexpected heart surgery in Calgary. Joe was an avid Rider fan, and managed to attend a few games at the stadium, but was happy to cheer from home too. He loved to work in his yard, cutting grass, planting     flowers and even a garden most years!

Joe will be lovingly remembered by his children: Lisa (Tim), Kelly (Jeannine), Greg (Donna), Scott (Amanda) and his grandchildren: Kaybri, Kai, Addison, Jacee, Bransen and special friend Cairo; as well as Phyllis’ siblings, their spouses, and numerous nieces and nephews and friends.

Joe was predeceased by his wife Phyllis, his parents and siblings; parents-in-law Willard and Laura Rosvold; brother-in-law  Walter Tkachuk; nephew Jim Tkachuk; great nephew Colton Tkachuk and great niece Sierra Carriere.

Special thank you to Dr. Steffan, the Melfort Hospital staff, the Melfort Ambulance paramedics, the Saskatoon Ambulance  paramedics, the Calgary Ambulance paramedics, the  Saskatchewan Air Ambulance and the Vascular Surgeons and team in Calgary for the amazing care given to Joe in his time of need!
