Of course like most of us on this forum I never met him in the real world, but I dare say there are few of us who had not sought or followed his advice at some time. Without question he smoothed the way for many of us. Personally I had more than a few private chats with him and and from that it was clear what thoroughly decent man he was. I’m truly saddened by this news and wish all his family the very best. RIP Joe.????
