Ted Collins: Big man. Loved a schooner or two. Traffic Sgt at Campsie for many years rest in peace . Great memories.
Barry Jones: Joe helped me with my first departmental over some shitty complaint. That night at Bankstown he showed me the power of the written report. His response was a pure work of art. The only thing missing was the words ……”Once Upon A Time” at the beginning. I still have that Roget’s Thesaurus he convinced me to buy in 1977 sitting on my desk. The other thing I remember about Joe was his stand up blues with Tom Gerdes, now they were different. Going to miss you big fella.
Joe was a real person. He was out there. I remember my first contact with Joe in 1964.he took me for a ride in his motorcycle sidecar. I was a new cadet at campsie in those days. He tried to frighten me with his actions. As many would know if you go around a right turn in the sidecar it tips up.
His relationship with Tom gerdes was not good. Like most of us. I finished up also being the traffic sergeant at campsie in the early 80s.
Good bye Joe
