Yes it's all true about Joe living in the North pier as I was in that same dressing room visiting. He'd come downstairs and saw me pass the carousel bar with my mum. He then came running out to catch me and tapped me on my shoulder and I thought it was mum. When I turned around about to say "mum why are you tapping me on my shoulder ?" There he stood laughing at the look on my face. Typical joe. Always full of surprises and always had a wicked sense of humour and an answer for everything. Anyway when I got over the shock, he said hiya darling can you do me a favour? The next thing I knew I was taken by the hand and up into the dressing room we went. The staircase was a deep red thick pile carpet and as mum had poorly eyes she followed us up behind carefully. When we got to his dressing room he said its this and he pointed to a wooden unit that he'd had made and he wanted some sticky back paper to cover the wood so he could put the pictures of the fans on it what they'd given him over the season. I said "yeah sure I can go and get it for you." He then came forward and took me by the hand and said I really wanted to show you this. In I walked to the second room which was his lounge where a huge big brown leather sofa was in one corner and the TV which was silver was in the opposite corner, and above it was a silk Perrott clown that was on a trapeze swing and on the fire hearth which was thick granite black marble was a crystal vase filled with beautiful flowers and in front of it was my picture in a frame taken of joe and I that I'd given him 2 days before. On the walls were his record discs and it was adorned with celebrities who he'd impersonated over the years. I just couldn't get over the fact that all of these famous faces were there for me to see and there was my picture placed beautifully on the hearth filled with fresh flowers for him to look at when he was there on his own. It was that moment I realised just how much he adored our friendship. Anyway we left the dressing room after he said to have a look around and there was some mouldy strawberries in a punnet on the side that he'd taken out of the fridge and we laughed as I said " oh joe darling you'll never make jam with those." He'd been cleaning too as the Mr muscle was in the sink. When we came back with his shopping list he came down to meet us and sat on the stairs inside at the bottom of the staircase. Mum sat opposite joe and I and I gave him his paper and then I said "there's your receipt and change so you know I haven't ripped you off and you trust me implicitly." He then looked at me and said "what's all this? Awe darling Alison of course I trust you. I trust you with my life." He was so generous and if I've kept the change as he gave me a £20 note I don't think hedve minded, but I needed him to know he wouldn't get ripped off by me ever. He was too trusting at times and maybe that's where he went wrong with his finances. Not his fault by any means but its the ones who shafted him over the years and he allowed them to get away with it. Joe and I had a 30 year friendship from 1989 until his death in 2019. I miss him terribly . He was a beautiful soul inside and out. His heart was made of pure 24 carat gold and the memories I have shared with him are ones I will always treasure forever. My new boyfriend hypnotherapist and past life regressionist Tony Rae told me that he shared the futurist theatre with Joe in the 90's and he too experienced Joe's kindness. Joe loaned him his personal assistant, his sound engineer and his sound equipment for his show that was after Joe's on a night. Joe asked Tony if he could use the stage to rehearse with the very much loved Elizabeth Dawn from coronation Street as she and Joe were best friends . Tony said yes and in return gave him this great gesture. Joe was kind and giving to all who knew him. Nothing was ever too much trouble to him and he was an absolute angel. He is very much missed.
