Uncle Joe,
I can’t believe you are no longer with us, you have gone through so much over the years, and were a true fighter. You left the family so quickly I didn’t even want to believe it when I was told. I have so many great memories of you from growing up which will stay with me forever. From being your bridesmaid at your wedding In my pink dress. Our family holiday to ilfracombe. Teaching me and gem to swim by literally chucking us in at the deep end, remember you telling mum to leave the swimming pool and not watch as she was worried about us. Lots of New Year’s Eve parties singing sweet Caroline, come on Eileen 😂😂 I was only young but remember like yesterday. You loved a Bacardi and you had an infectious laugh, which was there for all to see. You were the true life and soul of the party. We had lots of sleepovers where you used to scare us by taking your false teeth out, and when you shouted we would know about it, if we had been naughty. You were a teddy bear really. You used to call me “lofty” because I was tall. I am so glad that Stu and I got to see you recently and gave you a kiss and a cuddle. Thank you for being a great uncle and I hope you know how much you are loved and respected. You fought so hard for so long and defied all the odds, but now you are at peace and can rest knowing you are no longer in pain. I had a great photo to share of when we were in ilfracombe, I was sat on your lap and we were pulling funny faces, but I couldn’t find it, but I have found another good one. It was at Gems 30th, we had gone to the bar, you had had a few to drink and you made me down a pint of beer, it was a funny photo that Stu took, so I will upload that.
Rest now and enjoy the party up there x
Lots of Love always
Rie and Stu xxxxx

Dad, I cannot put into words how much I miss you, we could not have asked for a better Dad. You had a heart of gold, an infectious laugh and gave the best advice. I haven’t just lost my Dad I have also lost my best friend, I would do anything to have you back here with us but I am pleased you are now out of any suffering. Just make sure you are having a good time up there please. Until we meet again Dad, I love you so much ❤️

Vera Pettitt
Joe, I remember you sitting in my mums kitchen when I was 14yrs old, feeding my dog Sheba polo mints, you were working for my step- dad plus you were fishing partners.
At the time I didn’t realise how long you would be in my life, from helping to set up my wedding, to knocking down a chimney in our first flat, to looking after our sons.
We had our laughs along the way, us two being the strict parents, then Gill & Colin.
Thank you for a wonderful friendship and giving me a best friend in Gill.
Will miss you, God Bless you Joe, love Vera xx

Dearest Joe,
Thank you for all of your love, nurture and support right from the very beginning. I will miss your wisdom and gentle ways especially with your grandchildren. No one will ever be able to replace you- I miss your laughter so much.
I promise you I will take care of your son and grandchildren and carry the Marcantonio name with pride and honour, especially more so in your memory now.
You know how worried I was at changing my name when I was engaged to Barry, but I now know my own Dad got to chose my first name with great thought and love and I will have that forever. A new surname was a choice and a great honour to have especially as I got to marry your wonderful son. Thank you for building and shaping him into the man he has become. I am so blessed and grateful.
If you seen my Nan, Grandad, Auntie&Uncle and Uncle C up there please give them a big hug from me! My Auntie makes a great coffee and she’s a wonderful baker too- maybe ask her to bake you a lemon drizzle and you can sit back and keep a close watch on us all from up there.
Please check in with us when we need it most- you’ll know when. Remind us when things feel too much how to keep going.
Thank you for bringing such love and joy into all of our lives. I will miss you so much as will your grandchildren. You will always be the best Big Grandad Tickle ever.
Sleep tight,
All my Love always,
Betherus x

Joe,
You were one of the most loving and funny people we knew. Always smiling and joking and made anyone you met feel at immediate ease.
Your family were always very clearly and lovingly the most important thing to you and what a family they are! An absolute credit to you and Gill! Each will miss you so incredibly much but because of this you will live on through each and every one of them.
I’ll never forget one of the first times we met, when you managed to get me to go into your bird shed and see ALL of your budgies. No mean feat when I have an extreme fear of birds! I’m still not quite sure how you managed it but that just shows the type of person you were.
You will be hugely missed by so many and the heavens have gained (as your grandchildren would say) another ‘twinkling diamond star’ in the sky that will be gazed upon and cherished forever.
Rest in peace now and have yourself a good old party and laugh up there xxxxx

Dearest Dad,
Words can’t describe how much you are loved and missed. I am truly heartbroken! The impact you had on all of our lives was incredible. You are gone from our sight but never from our hearts.
Until we meet again.
All my love always,
