Last year you thought of us, this year we are thinking of you.

Joe, You were genuinely one of the nicest guys in the world. We had great times in Manchester and I will always remember them. Thanks for those times, I wish we could have had more.

Joe, You were so kind and funny and principled. I won't ever remember those years in Manchester without remembering you. Thank you for all that you were.

Remembered as a lively sweet boy. We spent lots of afternoons after school on London fields on swings and demos. 🥰

We had the pleasure of being close neighbours to Joe at Fitzwilliam Avenue when we first moved to Stubbington and our daughter, Emily, was friends with you Jess at Crofton Hammond School. Joe was a decent, gentle, family man and always a pleasure to converse with. We are all very sad to read this. Sending my love and thoughts to you all at this difficult time. Matt, Sandy and Emily xxx

I knew Joe as a neighbour when he lived in Fitzwilliam Avenue. Our children went to the same school so we'd often see each other "on the school run". Such a lovely gentle guy and we would happily talk about Liverpool FC and Star Wars.

I saw his very first breath and witnessed his last. I will always remember.

Thank you for creating this tribute to Joe and supporting Rowans Hospice Charity. Supporting the work of the Charity in memory of a loved one is a very special way to remember them and celebrate their life. We hope that you find developing this tribute a positive experience and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to such as birthdays, anniversaries and on days that are special to you. The Charity is very privileged to be chosen and remembered by our community in this special way and are always grateful to family and friends for supporting the Charity at what we know can be a sad and difficult time. Thank you.

We hope that you find this tribute to Joe a place of comfort, support and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.
