As a fellow painter I had the pleasure of Joe's company for many years. I admired his paintings and enjoyed the discussions about the interpretation of the subjects. I'll miss him as a person and a source of inspiration. Rod Gray

Known as Joe to our group members learning Italian alongside him for several years: I will miss your ever present smile and endearing personality, the laughter when we couldn't quite translate the task before us and so much more. God bless you, Joe.

Thoughts and prayers with you all. Many happy memories of Joe in the RE Department at Saint Benedict. May he now rest and receive the reward of his many years of service.

Joe was a recent member of Etwall Art Group. He was always friendly and enthusiastic, as well as being an accomplished painter. The Group will sadly miss him. RIP.

Joe was a very talented artist, was wonderful company and we shared many a moment of mischief reflecting on our brushes failure to produce our intentions once they touched the paper !

I will miss those moments very much.

RIP Joe
