In August 2022, Robert,
Joe and Barbara moved to
Minneapolis following Barbara’s
retirement. Joe spent his final
five months living at Walker
Methodist Health Center in
Minneapolis, two blocks from
his son and daughter-in-law.
Robert visited his father nearly
every day. Anne made visits
from Chicago once a month to
see Joe and give Robert a break
from caregiving.
There were many kind
and devoted caregivers in
Jacksonville, Fla.,, St. Augustine,
St. Louis and Minneapolis who
looked after Joe in his last two
years. The Gadon family is grate-
ful for all their efforts in caring
for Joe in the last years of his life.
Joe is survived by his wife,
Gail Gadon of Medford;
Ore.; brother, Harold Gadon
of Cranston, R.I.; son,
Robert (Barbara) Gadon of
Minneapolis, Minn.; daughter,
Anne (Ricardo Rodriguez)
Gadon of Downers Grove, Ill.;
Gail’s children, Melissa (Doug)
Fenton of Jacksonville, FL; and
Greg Wolf of Grants Pass, Ore.;
numerous cousins, nieces, neph-
ews, grandnieces and grand-
nephews.
Joe was preceded in death
by his sister, Ireene (Haskell)
Ozer; brother, Herman (Natasha
Josefowitz) Gadon; and sister-in-
law, Janice Gadon.
