Joseph “Joe” Austin
Aged 51 Years 16.12.1958-02.08.2010
St. Mary’s Anglican Church, St. Mary’s was overflowing on Tuesday 10th August, 2010 when family members & friends alike attended the farewell service for Joseph Austin, more affectionately known as “Joe”. Joe’s service was officiated by Rev. David Clarke.
Memories were spoken by family, friends & colleagues of the fun times, love & laughter that Joe shared with them all..
Music that depicted Joe was played & in particular the song chosen for reflection time ”Heaven was needing a Hero” was very apt for him..
A man that loved life, his family, in particular his wife Cheryll, his work & his friends, Joe will never be forgotten for he has touched too many lives and so many people are richer for knowing him..

I met cheryl in the 1980s when she was a patientin neapen hospital.
As a nurse i took a shine to her and we have become friends.sharing the joys and sorrows of life.
She was over the moon when she met Joe.Here was a dashing man who loved her for herself and at last she found the happiness she had beeen yearning for for a long time.
Joe seemed to lift her wings as the saying goes. There was so much love there that i was jealous.

Just spent my second Christmas, New Year,Your Birthday and our Anniversary alone again. How the time just seems to be flying past. Being on my own without you is something that we never thought I would have to do. Thoughts of you fill my days and nights if you only realised how much I loved you and miss you.
Forever and always in my heart.
