An icon Joe will be missed I moved 2 Greystones 40 yrs ago and remember meeting Joe my dad and him became good friends and as a teenager Joe was a familiar face in his pool hall a lot of my teens most in fact were spent at Joe’s with my friends back in the day we always knew we were safe hanging out in Joe’s and so did our parents a lot of wonderful memories there enjoy your retirement Joe
A sad, sad day indeed. When just about everyone in Greystones misses the simple clues. Such as the whole spiel about Joe taking up interpretative dance. And his talk of being feckin’ tired of “chips, chips, chips”. Oh, and the fact that it’s April 1st, of course.
Joe will be missed & his wonderful food! Enjoy the retirement!
