Like the other two persons posting here, I was in correspondence with Joe even while he was at Harrison Point. Even in that situation Joe was upbeat, offering counselling to others around him as well as some good humour, as only Joe could. Joe was a remarkable man, I 've known him in a professional capacity for the last 12 years or so. I have never seen Joe angry or disillusioned. I admired his independence as a small contractor and indeed as a master of many trades. He was a man who was attentive to his family, especially his dear son. One of the last things he said to me was that he had a healthy veneration for the Lord. I hope therefore that he rests in eternal peace. Farewell, my friend.
Please wait...
