Joe, born in Edinburgh / Scotland, slept away in Epsom / Surrey. A man bigger than life - in his profession, his sports and with his friends, family, children and partner. Joe liked to present and enjoy good stories, pictures and jokes - feel free to add here what you want to share, as Joe wants us to celebrate his life.

Joe was a golfing buddy and introduced me to London Scottish. Many have commented on Joe’s love of life. To me Joe was more than a bon vivant. He was an intelligent and kind man. He cared about people. He was inclusive and sought out to integrate new members. He was loyal to his friends. He supported me in times of difficulty for which I am so grateful. He could be stubborn but then so are many of us ! His many successes reflected his desire to improve and leave something for future generations to enjoy. He was liked by so many people because of what he was like as a man. So much more than the happy, teasing smiling man we remember so well. My memories of Joe are not just about the times we shared a drink…or two…but also of the quieter times, the quiet word, a journey shared, a memory recounted.

Larger than life I will miss seeing Joe around the Royal Automobile Club, each time I saw him I reminded myself not to "gloat" or it might of cost me a fine ! Rest in peace Joe.

As CEO, board member and friend I will always be incredibly grateful for the support Joe provided me during my time as DoR at London Scottish on the incredible journey. His energy, candour and humour were constant, regardless of the ups and downs, and some of my fondest memories were in the bar with Joe after the game where he always had a smile and a drink. RIP Joe.

I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone with more friends than Joe. We both were on the undefeated 3/4 tour to Munich in 1979. Joe was our leader on and off the Pitch. Played 3 games in 3 days and won them all. RIP Brother, we’re all going to miss you !
