Joe Madden

This is the last thing I wanted to do but as you’ll be aware Emma lost her dad tragically and suddenly on Tuesday and he’s left nothing to help towards funeral costs. He had no possessions, no funeral plan or life insurance. Joe was a well loved man in our community, he always bought everyone a drink, had the time of day for absolutely anyone and it’s so sad that I’m seeing Emma upset because the only option will be to send him off for a cremation without a service. She obviously wants to give him the send off he deserves and be able to grieve properly by attending his funeral. I appreciate it’s a tough time for many people and we understand not everyone will be able to help and aren’t asking for a lot if you can. After everything Emma has been through in the last few years with losing her mum and now her dad I’m asking very kindly for any help, big or small and if there is anything spare we’re happy to donate the rest to a worthy charity in Joe’s name.

Joe was the life and soul of a party, so it’s only fair we give him a party he’d be proud of.
