Joe Kirkbride

Received a sad message this morning to say that Joe had passed away,
Joe was a long time employee of the Amalgamation until poor health forced him to retire a couple of seasons ago ,he worked on maintaining the wagons as well as driving to races
He still called at the garage to see the lads regularly and I talked to him about a month ago , as usual always a story to tell
Joe had a wealth of knowledge about the wagons and transporting of the birds and was still available for advice after he retired
To his wife and family and would like to pass on my deepest condolences
R.I.P. Joe
