He also has a brother, Steven and a sister, Mary Zibrin (née Schreiner). As a child, Joseph Schreiner was taught Slovak at home by his parents and attended an English school. Following his 18th birthday, he joined the Canadian Armed Forces and served for 25 years, including several tours of duty abroad in Congo, Korea and Germany. After his military career, he worked at Weights and Measures. When he retired, he spent most of his time in Florida.
