Dear Judy and family,
I will be thinking of you all today as we say goodbye to Joe. He was a wonderful person, always ready for a joke and a laugh. Wishing you comfort from your happy memories and strength going forward.
Much love

Joe was many things to many people but to me he was my mate, my best mate.
We worked on so many projects together and of course Di just loves her high fence.
Steaks at Hogs Breath, coffee on the verandah.
Football nights were memorable, friendly rivalry over the pool table was legendary. And of course the tennis matches! How we loved to lick our younger opponents even if the next day we had to check how we both were holding up.
So until Joe and I meet again for our next tennis match when we are really are younger and fitter, I will remember Joe as a mate, a diamond of the first order.
Bernie and Di

Judy, Sorry I couldn’t be with you today, I think of you often and how well you have done. Keep holding Jehovah hand for support. Kindest Regards Harella.
I have been thinking of all of Joes family today. We have wonderful memories of the Benson family in Mackay, as brought out in his service , at Slade Point river. It was so unique. I haven’t seen Joe for many years but my memory is what a gentle person he was.
It was a beautiful memorial to him. We send our condolenses to you all. Ian and Lorna (nee Stanley)Perrett and families.
Nice to see many who are Joe’s friends there in person. Thanks to all who gave so much encouragement to the family. We send our love to Judy and the family in particular.
Dear Judy & family, I am so sorry that I was not able to be there with you for the funeral service. But being able to see you on live stream was excellent. What a wonderful tribute to Joe, he will be missed so much.
Losing our loved ones is heart breaking, but they will remain forever in our hearts. May the love of our heavenly father Jehovah and the support and care from those who know you, sustain you through this difficult time. With sympathy and love, Jenny
The service was lovely Judy
Our sincere condolences to you Anna & Laura . Not sure if you remember us but I had fond memories of you guys when we were coming into the truth back in the 90s . I named our girl Laura too . She was 2 when I got baptized at the civic centre in 1996 . Terry & Clin are our spiritual parents . ☺️
Jehovah will hold tight your right hands thru this emotional time & will provide loving support from your friends & family.( Isaiah 41: 10,13)
Take care til we see you around the corner , if not before .
Warm Christian love from
Dennis & Tracey Kelly ( Atherton congregation )
