Janet and family I am so sorry to read about Joe’s passing. I will always remember Joe as the guy who always wanted to feed our Fanshawe girl group whenever we met at your home. He made us some amazing meals and made us laugh the whole time. I had my first drink of Ouzo with Joe and think of him often when ouzo is mentioned. Joe was one of my favourite people and I will miss seeing him. Take care Janet and remember you can count on the Fanshawe girls if you need anything. Love you always Sue
