Messages of condolence

Very sad to hear of Joe's death. Joe was very influential in our early ringing days in Essex before we moved away in the early '70s and we have fond memories of him. Thinking of you and the family at this sad time. Keith and Marilyn Brown

Dear Mary, It has been a joy to be friends with Joe and to ring with him. Always so willing to share his wealth of knowledge on so many subjects and so interesting to listen to. Many treasured memories of weekends away and days out ringing with you both. We will miss him. Always in our hearts. Our love to you and the family. Janice & David

Dear Mary, Paul and David. Joe might not have taught me to ring but he was a big influence in my ringing career. Whenever I'm ringing at Danbury he is in that tower listening to the striking!! He was the salt of the earth and will be greatly missed. RIP Joe and much affection Mary. Ann and Mark Woolley
