Uncle-Joe, you were so many things to so many people.
To our corner of the Purcell clan you were a big-brother, a brother-in-law & an Uncle that always made us laugh.
You were so much more than that, you were funny, you were incorrigible, you were a fantastic singer, you were the one that put us all at ease, but most of all you were loved.
Sending love to all the family,
From Gail, Alison, Jan, Tina, Young Stuart & Ben x
