I have known you since I was so young
Remembering you and dad on your horses
Mustering the cattle on Belsar Island
Calling in at Boundary Bend for a cuppa
Sharing your wisdom and knowledge
Then came the times in Swan Hill when
You would drive by , back up and have a chat
Always talking of the land and your animals
You were someone I highly respected and had
A connection with so ,it is with Great Sadness
I say “Goodbye “ I will miss our little chats and that smile of yours ..

Will miss our chats over the cattle prices and the weather, when we re connected at Alcheringa, my father Daryl Wood was a great friend of Joe. We had day trips to Boundary Bend as children collecting wood and one day Joe showed us a Mallee Fowls nest, just one of my memories.
Thoughts are with Denise, Andrew, Jonathon and families.

I may not have known Joe for as long as many, but I feel privileged to have spent time with such a remarkable and genuine man.
I will miss our chats…of horses, sheep, rainfall and realestate…and your passion for the land and animals in the stories you shared.
You were a great friend to my Dad, Albie Dwyer, and I will always fondly remember you both sitting in the front window at Alcheringa watching the world go by (neither of you missing much of what went on). And I thank you for your kindness and on-going concern for Mum (Joan) when Dad passed.
But more than anything, I will truly miss your wonderful smile, the laughter we shared, and your cheery wave at the window…
My heartfelt condolences to your family at this very difficult time.

I have very fond memories of Uncle Joe. I found he had interesting things to say. He is so like his sister Phyllis, my Mum. I last saw him when he was in hospital in Bendigo a few years ago. I met Denise there and the 3 of us had a great chat and a laugh. I have a great photo of him which I took at the time. I will miss him and remember him always.

I have many fond memories of Uncle Joe. From childhood to years later seeing him at various family events. When I see him, I see my Mum his sister Phyllis in him. My Mum will miss him.
I and a friend stayed with him in Swan Hill on his little farm he had. He had pride in his Limousin herd and the property. He gave us a tour of the property. It was fun and very quick.
I last saw him a few years ago in hospital in Bendigo. I met Denise while visiting him and the three of us had a great chat and a laugh. I will miss him and remember him always. -
I remember coming to visit you and stayed at your property in 1977 with my mum Phyllis, your sister. I would also come and visit now and then, whilst up at Boundary Bend staying with cousin Joan Connor who lived down the road. I have other fond memories of visiting you in Swan Hill when you were off the farm and just on a normal house block.
I have nice thoughts and memories of you Uncle Joe and will miss you. Sorry I didn’t get to your 90th bday…

I enjoyed Joe’s company always and that is since the late 1970s when I got Mallee roots from Bar 20 for the football club. I spent a lot of time particularly since Joe moved Butler Road with him and was regularly the chauffeur. We got over our little arguments pretty quickly, me taking the car was the worst. But selling the caravan also was pretty interesting.

I loved having Joe for the last 5years, caring for him and he was so loving and caring. He was a very special man tp a lot of us and I will never forget him. My condolences to his family

Uncle Joe.
I have happy childhood memories of coming to stay at Boundary Bend and Kenley. You would leave early and come home late, always with that hat and your wonderful kelpies. Thinking about those times and your family today.
Maxine -
Although I won’t get to see your cheeky grin or hear your voice anymore, my heart is full of memories.
All our conversations about our shared love of horses, and other facets of the land that brought a real smile to your face.
You had a dry sense of humour and a way with words that left and still leaves me laughing when I think back to our chats.
I know your in a better place, rest peacefully Grandad.
Love your Granddaughter Georgia -
Sincere condolences to Denise and Max, Andrew and Jenny and Johnathon and grand children and the wider Paul family and friends on the passing of Joe.
Apologies for not being online today . Travelling north to inspect a cattle block {and would love to have Joe along to inspect and advise.}
Many fond memories of Bar20, Red Tank days and thereafter and the more recent catch ups at Alcheringa in the last few years.
Rest in peace Joe and I am sure we will chat cattle again one day.
God Bless Les and Cathy -
Norman and I have enjoyed the times we have had with Joe over the las 40 odd years. Just saying that reminds us that Joes passing is the change of an era. He enjoyed his farming life and it is here that Norman has a lot of memories. He remembers one time in particular Joe asked Norman to come and help mark 800 lambs. Norman turns up and there is only Joe. Norman asks him where all the others were but Joe just remarked it is just us . That was a long long day as Norman had had a few too many drinks the night before and was hung over. I remember when Joe would show up for a visit and the kids & I would end up playing cards.We mostly played 500. No one else could get there hands on kitty as Joe always seem to get it. We went on several trips with Joe buying bulls at Donna Valley and for months after he would tell us how great that line was. His love of cattle never really died even when he no longer worked the cattle. Another time we went to Melbourne to see a Rodeo, Australia vs America it was an amazing trip of which he enjoyed immensely. It is memories like this that will keep Joe In our thoughts forever. Our condolences go out to his family at this sad time and regret that we are not able to be there to share your memories and celebrate a life well lived.

It is with great sadness we send sincere condolences to the Paul Family on the passing of Dear Joe. My father David Bryan and Joe were good friends at “Alcheringa”in their twilight years and would often talk of their past lives, with so much in common, with land,Horses,stock and droving days. They had many laughs and jokes and would sit at the window and watch and wait for someone to come along and give them a wave. I will always remember Joe with great fondness,his kindness and caring ,his cheeky smile and his laugh.
Joe always asked whenever we went to “Alcheringa” about the Hoppy girls. Mum was one of those Hoppy girls, Eileen Bryan ( Hopcroft). He would get them all mixed up because there was 7 of them but he knew them all, along with their 3 brothers, from Boundary Bend days long ago. With fond and treasured memories the Hoppy girls send their deepest condolences to Joe’s family. -
