    I was very glad to have gotten to know Joe , even if only slightly , when I was out walking and our paths used to cross when I met him on his way back from Portna ,and our initial ‘hellos’ eventually evolved into much longer and wide ranging conversations . I am very sorry to hear of his passing and my condolences to his family. ‘ One decent man.’ RIP Joe.

    Joe had always a ready smile on his daily walk to the river and back. Enjoyed a chat and always asked after the family.
    Condolences to the family circle.
