Poppa Joe, You have been and always will be close to my heart. Thank you for all the fun adventures we went on when you came to visit us in Australia. We always made the most of our time together; beautiful bush walks, drives to Byron, fish and chips in the park, beach days, pints at the pub, tropical fruit world, theme park visits when I was younger, making me buttered toast of a morning, calling me your “BIG STAR”, don’t forget the crazy amount of potato’s we ate between us, Christmas mornings, Christmas carols in the park and just all the laughs! Pops you’ve impacted my life in such a beautiful way and I’m forever greatful you were my Pops. Your kind, gentle nature and your marriage with Gran truely is an inspiration. The world needs more people like you!!! I hope you are no longer in pain and are smiling down on us all. You’ll forever hold a special place in my heart! RIP Poppa Joe xxx

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Joe. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
