Dennis, Norma-Jean and Karen would especially like to thank nephew, Brian and his wife, Clodagh for the support they provided Joe over the past few difficult health years. The family would also like to express appreciation for the paramedics and nursing staff who assisted with Joe throughout his illnesses  and to the staff at the McKinlay Funeral Home.
