Through his actions he taught me that whoever you are is fine, even if that whoever happens to be eccentric.

Farewell Uncle Joe and thanks for all the times we sat around talking about old films, especially your favourite, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. You were loved and you will be missed.

blessings on you and your family MoeJoe. take this time to celebrate his life and not let mourning his loss overwhlem you

Thanks everyone for your condolences.

Over the next few days I intend to get absolutely shitfaced, so if I'm not around, you'll know I'm somewhere singing old Irish songs off key and alternatively burping.

That will just slow the grief coming...

Moejoe, so sorry for the loss of your uncle. He sounds as though he would have been fun to meet and spend time with.

If you're Irish, it's a part of the greiving process.

It works for Englishmen, as well, actually.
