Graeme and I just want to send our sympathy to you all after Joe's passing. It's been many years since we've seen him, but we spoke on the phone more recently. We knew Joe from Don St Bible Chapel way back and at Youth Group.
Sending prayer to you.

Sorry to hear of Joe's passing. He was such a friendly man. I knew him through church years ago. My parents were friends with the Lay families. I remember when I'd see him up town in Invercargill he'd always stop to say Hi and have a short chat. So Great to hear he got back to God in his last few years. See you again one day Joe.
