LACROIX - Patrick Dominique 1960 - 2003 Patrick Dominique Lacroix, beloved husband of Carrie Lacroix of Calgary, passed away peacefully at home after a courageous battle with cancer on Friday, February 7, 2003, at the age of 42 years. Pat was born in Saskatoon, SK on May 12, 1960. He attended Holy Cross High School and knew early on in his high school years that his future would be in radio. At age seventeen, Pat's dream came true when he was hired by CJWW in Saskatoon to work the graveyard shift on weekends. Following this he worked at CFQC until moving on to the Calgary radio scene at CFCN and CFR. In 1991, Pat "O'Bryan" returned to Saskatoon for a six year run as morning man at C95 until the lure of Calgary brought him back to CFR for a continuation of his successful radio career. Patrick enjoyed life to the full in every way. He was a kind, outgoing and charismatic man who made a lasting impression on all who had the pleasure of his company. Pat had the genuine ability to make everyone around him feel good. His memory will be cherished. Pat is survived by his loving and devoted wife Carrie; his parents, Jean and Lydia Lacroix; his sisters, Nadia Neutelings (John and Heather) and Danielle Tkachuk (Tim, Bryan and Courtney), all of Saskatoon. He is also lovingly remembered by his mother-in-law Hilda Sinclair of Saskatoon; brothers-in-law, Jay Sinclair (Julie, Max and Alex) of Calgary, John Sinclair (Leslie); and sister-in-law Cherie Sinclair, both of Toronto.

In 1951, he moved to Toronto and continued his work in public accounting with George A. Touche & Co. Shortly after, he met Margaret Johnston and they were married September 18, 1954. In 1955, Joe left public accounting to work for Imperial Oil Ltd. Early on in his career, Joe was identified as having an aptitude for logic and systems, and he became part of the group installing Imperial's first computer in 1958, going on to work in computers and systems for the next twenty-two years. In 1961, he served in Ottawa with the Glassco Royal Commission on Government Organization as a team leader. He also served on several CICA bodies, and specialized in standard setting. In his last years with Imperial he was Manager of Accounting Policy. Joe retired in 1986, and pursued with a passion his many hobbies. These included the music of Duke Ellington, military history and collectibles. As an Army cadet in World War Two he began to amass a large collection of Canadian military badges and an extensive knowledge of the lineage and insignia of the Canadian Forces. He and the late Frank Dunbar co-authored "Old Colours Never Die", which received high praise as a work of military research. Joe also authored "A Source of Pride", a monograph on the badges of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, 1914 to 1918, and acted as a consultant on related matters to the Department of National Defence. For his research and writing, he received the Queen's Golden Jubilee Medal in 2002. Joe moved to Calgary in 1995 to be closer to his sons and grandchildren. Grampy will be greatly missed by his four favourites, Benjamin, Katie, Rachel, and Elizabeth; by his sons, Stephen, Grant, and Robert; by his daughters-in-law, Laureen, Elan; and by his beloved wife of forty-eight years, Margaret. He is also survived by his brother George, and sister-in-law Jennie of Lawrenceville, Georgia. He will also be remembered by his sister-in-law Catherine; and brothers-in-law, Mel, Bob and wife Esther, Tom and wife Joan; and the family of his late sister-in-law Rose, and her late husband Howard; his many nieces and nephews and the many friends from across the country with whom Joe maintained an active correspondence.
