Joe McCartney

Message from Julie McCartney. Joe, her dad, died last year.

Sad to hear that 'slow' Joe McCartney is dead. Another one who simply did not know how to flap or panic, I worked with him in A Sqn SQMS (Dave Whalley) stores in Herford.

:cry:

I'm sorry to hear about this.

Joe used to like doing crossword puzzles, and sometimes I helped him. He was a very likeable person, and completely unaggressive.

Joe was a brilliant mate, I knew him in Leeds after his demob. Still smoking 40 a day and without a care in the world. Who can forget his slim whitman and jim reeves records. A gentleman to the end.

R.I.P Joe. He was a class act was Slow Joe. Always had a fag hanging out of his mouth, even when going through a night replen, Joe would be the Benz Stally, fag in gob :shock: Didn't need replen lights, just looked for the the glow of Joes fag. :D Always used to wonder who smoked the most, Joe or Bob Darnell :?

Are we talking about the same person? Joe was a Scot, and he had a Scottish accent, albeit a fairly mild one.

One day in Omagh or somewhere, we were sitting next to a Liverpool guy, I never knew him well but he was our driver, and he was doing a Sun crossword puzzle. He decided he'd found the answer to a particularly difficult and ingeniously set SUN crossword clue (hehe!), but unfortunately, his word was longer than the SUN crossword allowed. Convinced he was right, the noodle drew a couple of extra squares into the crossword to allow his answer to fit!! - Could his name have been Canavan-Daly?

[Mike Kemble]

Yeah sounds a lot like C-D that does. The Sun crosswords were so hard in those days. "Slow joe" was quite apt really for Joe Mc - nothing seemed to phase him.
