Joe passed away suddenly and unexpectedly at home on Friday, 23rd January 2026, aged 75 years. A man whose life was enriched by the many friendships he formed, and he was greatly valued by those who knew him.

Joe was deeply and genuinely well thought of and a man whose presence was known and welcomed by many. He had a gift for friendship and knew people from all walks of life, both from around the area and from the local pubs that were such a familiar and happy part of his world. Wherever he went, he was known, and wherever he sat, there was conversation, laughter, and a sense of belonging.

Joe loved simple pleasures: a game of dominoes, good company, and the comfort of familiar faces. He was at his happiest surrounded by friends, sharing stories, time, and moments that will always be remembered fondly by those who shared them.

He will be remembered with warmth and gratitude by the many people whose lives he touched.
