Our deepest sympathy to all of Uncle Joe's family.
He was so kind and welcoming to us on our visit to Auckland in 2015. He kept us entertained for the weekend with his huge repertoire of stories.

Dear Uncle Joe - so many memories you´ve left us with- the old work truck, the motorbike, stuffing a few dollars into our hands as kids, the many many stories and the "goat whiskers" . You will be remembered with love and much fondness by us all. Now back with Rita. Rest in peace.
