Our memories will sustain us in our grief.

In our hearts you will always stay, loved and remembered every day.
By your cheeky laugh you are remembered by all.

Dear Uncle Joe,
Your cheeky smile and mischievous laugh brought much happiness
and joy to everyone. You taught us so much about being resilient
and no matter what happened you always took it in your stride.
You are a great example of what it means to work hard and enjoy life.
Hearing your many work and travel stories always made us laugh!
Your strength, courage and love for your family inspired us all…
We are grateful for all the beautiful memories, forever in our hearts.
All our love,
Andrew, Elizabeth, Isabella, Brianna, Alina and Peta xxxxxx
Uncle Joe,
So many memories of you always begin with your cheeky laugh
especially when you played a fluke shot while playing 8 ball
and had everyone laughing, The banter between all the family when there was
a Port vs Norwood game, was something to treasure.
Your cheeky nature kept us on our toes
as we never knew what you were going to get up to next.
Your love of family being together enjoying playing 8 ball,
backyard cricket and bocci with a glass of wine or two
are treasured memories for all of us.
Rest in peace now Uncle Joe..
Love from Jeff, Anne, Aaron, Louise, Shannon and Toby
Uncle Joe,
Whenever I think about you I always remember you were always quick
with a joke and you had such an infectious laugh.
Your love and enjoyment playing pool with the family are treasured memories forever.
Love always Chris and Donna
Joe, you were always a fighter.
You were a perfect example of the word ability in disability.
You were kind, courageous and brave.
You had an infectious sense of humour, cheeky and had a great laugh.
You could eat and drink any of us under the table.
You were very competitive and loved to challenge family and friends
to a game of pool, eight ball and Kelly pool.
You lived life to the max.
You will be forever in our hearts.
Eddie (Ted) and Leeanne.
Uncle Joe was infectious.
A man of few words, but his face and presence said it all.
He loved his sport and beer.
Forever in our hearts Michael, Alison, Sherrie and Olivia.
Joe, you have always been my dearest and closest friend.
I have great admiration and respect for your courage,
determination and give it a go attitude with everything you did.
I will always love and cherish our time spent together
and you will be forever in my heart.

When we visited you at your home, you and your friends kept calling me 'a legend', but there was only one legend in that room and that was Joe Gaskin. What a great bloke. You have spent seventy short years on our planet, but what an impression you made on it and all of us who were enriched by knowing you. We have inherited many happy memories from sharing your company both in Australia and here in England. The players of the 1066 Specials Disability Football Club, who presented you with a club shirt on your visit, also send their love. Joe Gaskin, sportsman and friend, you will be remembered as a special person who despite many challenges played the cards that you were dealt with courage and humour. God Bless you, rest peacefully, and thank you for being a great cousin. Lots of love from Harold, Angela and all your family in the UK. xxxxx
Dear Joe Your beautiful smile and cheeky infectious laugh have been in my memories over many years. An exciting life so well lived you can now Rest In Peace. Love Marie and Family and Howard & Flora Kearvell

As our cousins from Adelaide (usually called "The Adelaidians") it was always a pleasure to catch up, either at your place or in Pascoe Vale. When Mum and Dad said you were coming over we were very excited to see Peter and Margaret, Ted, Noreen and Joey! Joey, you were always a favourite of ours, with your gentle nature. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May Joey's soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
