Rest in Peace Joey, no more parades today
 Sincere condolences to all your family and friends

So sad to hear the news about Joe. Sincere condolences to family and friends. I'll always remember Joe as sharp minded and witted, and a sharp dresser.  I remember the absolute fluke that we met Joe on the day of Joe Humphries funeral - at traffic lights on the East Lancs Highway!!! That was the last time I saw him to speak to. RIP.

So very sorry to hear about Joey. My thoughts are with his family and friends at this time. RIP mate.

Till we meet again Joey, peace is now yours me old Mucker.
Well done Jimmy for looking after him during the last few months.
I know you will have a memorable sending off Joe. This wake will bring out a few more of the old RB Family as well as the RGJ Family.
Jimmy you know where we are.
RIP Mucker.

Very sad to hear the loss of Joe Simpson. My condolences to all the family and friends.
Gone but not forgotten!

We will not forget you.

I'm very sorry to hear of the passing of Joe Simpson.  I remember Joe returning to 1RGJ after his outstanding service where many are called but very, very few are chosen, he was  certainly an exceptional soldier.

I bumped in to Joe on County Road in the mid '80s after I came out of the County Hotel when Ray Gerrard was the manager.  Joe at the time was working for Customs and we had a pint and a laugh at some of the antics people got up to when they were trying to bluff him when they were caught red-handed smuggling.

Then like Pete Uden has already said, we had stopped at traffic lights when we took Joe Humphreys on his last journey and both Joe Sympson and Joe Humphreys were good mates.  Obviously, Joe Humphreys wanted Joe Sympson at his farewell.  That was a great farewell and I'm sure now that they are together with many great guys in the Final RV.

Joe, God Bless, you can rest easy now Mucker.

PS  Jimmy Mathews, I know you are gutted but he could not have had a better man beside him, you are what he needed, his 'Chosen Man'.  I know you will ensure he gets a great send off.
