Joe was born a first generation Canadian to his parents Stephania & Joseph Boychuk in Greater Edmonton Area, in Alberta. His family was of utmost importance to him.
After his schooling years Joe trained & worked as a Journeyman welder before moving on to a career as a big truck inspector and heavy duty mechanic.
He married his first wife Marjorie Mellor & had children while living on his acreage on Wye Rd.
In his free time Joe liked to spend time fixing cars, camping, hunting, fishing, playing cards, listening to music and dancing.
In his last years of life he became a committed full time caregiver at home for his second wife (by common-law), who eventually lost her life to cancer. He loved her dearly and this was a great loss for him.
