Another stalwart of the Arbroath club has passed on at 88. Married to his dear wife Dot for over 70 years in fact they had a card from the queen last year to mark that anniversary. They had two sons Joey and Stewart and they’ve had the heartache of outliving both of them losing Stewart only a few weeks ago.

 

Joe was a lifelong fancier with over sixty years involvement with pigeons.

He had a spell as President of the club, and during his tenure harmony was a priority. During meetings Dot and Joe always had tea and sausage rolls etc laid on at their expense to keep us in good spirits.

Always generous in his praise for others when they had a good performance and proud but modest when it was his turn.

Two of the highlights for Joe was topping the Federation from Falaise in 2004 and again in 2008. In 2004 he had the only bird in Arbroath on the day and was 14th Open SNFC. In 2008 he was 24th open SNFC winning the Ian “Smokie†Gray memorial trophy for the lowest winning velocity from all races in the federation. In fact Joe was the inaugural winner of this trophy and is pictured below being presented by Smokies wife Tiger Ann.

 

R.I.P friend you leave many fond memories.
