Joe died at home on Saturday 17th October after a long and arduous battle with Lymphoma. He will be immeasurably missed by his family,  and many friends, who loved Joe for his kindness, warmth, sense of humour and zest for life. 

Due to Coronavirus restrictions we are only able to hold a small funeral, but if you would like to make a donation in Joe's memory we are raising money for a local charity, First Step, which supports children with special needs and/or disabilities, and their families. Anyone who knew Joe would understand why we chose this organisation, as Joe spent his career tirelessly supporting the most vulnerable children in the community. Joe loved children and was passionate in his belief that all kids deserve a decent start in life.
