A wonderful uncle and great-uncle. We always enjoyed your company, especially on our last visit from Australia. We will remember you fondly and will be thinking of you even though we are so far away.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Joe, but I can only imagine he was a lovely man based on knowing his wife Jean who is equally a kind and lovely lady. My thoughts are with you Jean. Stay strong x

A lovely man

Dear Joe,
All of those lovely days and holidays we spent together. Barbecues in the rain with wet weather gear and brollies, looking after Samantha and Henry and guarding them from Daddy Longlegs! Toby cocking his leg up our kitchen table and finally, who is going to bring me my fried egg sandwich at work?
If only one last big hug.
All our love, Jim & Jane xxxx

Joe Joe
So many memories...that wonderful smile and cheeky wink will always hold a special place in my heart
Fondest love Kay

Sweet Dreams, Joe,
Lots of Love N&K

Joe will always be in our hearts. He was a proper Gentleman.
We remember the first time we met Joe, Jean brought him to meet us for Sunday Lunch. He was in for a fast ride!

A whirlwind introduction to us, and then meeting up with Ken's family and friends in the White Lion for their traditional 2 hour Sunday Session, which involved drinking copious amounts of beer, followed by more alcohol over lunch.

Immediately Ken met Joe they knew they were kindred spirits and over many years have shared good times together, exchanging stories, visiting pubs, and drink beer, as can be seen in the photographs we have of Joe, over many many happy years in his company.

He was more than a brother in law to us, There will be a big space in our lives now, but he will always have our memories, He will be sorely missed by us and many others.

Rest In Peace Joe.
A man with a big smile and an even bigger heart. I am very proud to say he was my brother in law and my friend. I have many memories of Joe but this one stands out and is one I would like to share. Many years ago, Jean arranged, as a Christmas present, for Joe to go to West Ham and meet in the 66 Club Hospitality Suite; Geoff Hurst. As some may know Joe went to school and played football with Geoff.
Joe and me duly turned up on match day, very excited. Unfortunately, on this occasion Geoff was unable to attend and Martin Peters stood in his sted. We still had a great day but Joe didnt get the reunion he wanted. The next day I wrote to Geoff explaining how Joe was looking forward to seeing his old friend again after so many years. A couple of days later I had a phone call, it was Geoff Hurst, he would love to meet with Joe and for us to come again to the 66 Club for the next home game. Unbelievable!
We duly went to the game and Joe and Geoff were reunited. But almost best of all, Judith, Geoff's wife was there too, again old school friends, and they spent the entire time reminiscing, with Geoff popping back n forth when he could as he had to carry out his duty to the other guests.
It was special for me to see Joe remembering old times with his World Cup winning hero mate and with Judith swapping those childhood memories.
We often recalled that day and for me it is one that I will never forget.
Sleep well 'little ol boy' x
