Thinking of you today and your birthday approaches and hoping you and my dad celebrate like old times. You're both missed and loved beyond measure.

Loving you always, forgetting you never! My heart still aches and I miss u always! Love you Uncle Joe

It has been over 5 months now and the pain is still there, but the memories never fade. I miss you Uncle Joe, always will. Love you forever.

I remember having Joe in my grade 5/6 class at Princess Elizabeth School.

What a well mannered and helpful student he was. I am very happy to see from

the comments here that he kept these attributes .

R.I.P. Joe - I'll never forget your happy-go-lucky personality and jokes. Wherever you are now, I'm sure everyone around you is laughing. Nicole, Nicholas, and Camilla; be at peace knowing Joe is in a better place now and his memory will always live on. <3

I met Joe and Lumsden brothers where we worked together. Every night Joe would lighten the mood by telling jokes and always smiling. Even working extra hours joe made them fun. Then of course there was always our mornings after work at Joes for some WWE wrestling watching and extras ;). My last moment with Joe was just before he got ill and he was driving by our house and noticed I was doing some roofing. In Joe typical fashion he told me I was doing it wrong and the next day he came back to help me finish it without hesitation. Joe you will be truly missed but never forgotten. May god keep your family strong in this time of need and we shall see you again my friend.

You were definitely the best Uncle a niece could ask for. I have so many memories of you from the time I was a little girl wrestling with you on the living room floor, the rabbits you and Aunt Camilla had in the back yard, playing hide and go seek in the dark, waking me up with pots and pans when I slept over on the big round bed, being pregnant and you rubbing my belly calling Hunter Triple J, the gift that is gonna keep giving as you put it, you walking through the door daily with a smile on your face, calling Bry the most beautiful girl, when you were my emergency contact at school, all the times our family went places. I have so many memories of you, so many good times. You are the most amazing, loving, kind and compassionate person I know who always found the good in everyone. You will be missed Uncle Joe, but never will you be forgotten. I love you always. FAMILY
