He was a loyal friend, a cherished neighbour, and a man who embodied strength and kindness in equal measure. Whether sharing a story, offering guidance, or simply enjoying time with those he held dear, Joe’s warmth and generosity will forever be remembered. His legacy lives on in the hearts of his family, friends, and colleagues.
