Joe was a long-standing member of Bexhill Chess Club (he was also a member of Hastings & St Leonards Chess Club). He will be remembered for his great sense of humour (he specialised in one-line quips) and for his chess ability. Even towards the end he showed amazing stamina at the chessboard, playing as many as 15 blitz games over three hours one afternoon last year and winning the majority. R. I. P., Joe.
