Joe you are gone but not forgotten. A true friend and generous man to so many in the community. You were devoted to your family - husband to Maureen, father to Clare, father-in-law to Stuart and grandad to Poppy. You took great pride in their achievements. You led a full and active life with a lifelong passion for cricket, travel and air shows being just a few of your many interests. I consider myself fortunate to have known you and thank you for all your support over so many years. RIP dear friend - as promised I will continue to look out for Maureen and Clare, Stuart and Poppy x Val Cook
