Born in Carshalton UK on 11 August 1930, Joe died in Geraldton on 1 December 2000. Over 400 mourners attended Joe’s funeral on 6 December and the City Band played at both St Francis Xavier’s Cathedral and the Crematorium. Joe arrived in WA in 1939 on the Strathnavar and was placed in Clontarf and Tardun where he farmed for some 30 years. Sadly Joe failed to find his family of origin despite many journeys back to the UK. Joe, who had a great love of music is much missed by his loving wife Bernadette (herself a former Child Migrant) and sons Christopher and John and grandchildren Martika and Brandon, and Brandon and Caleb.
