[@Cultrix]

The Greatest Entertainer this country ever produced. An absolute Diamond as a human being too. Poor Joe, gone too soon. RIP to a true SUPER STAR.

[@antonoat]

Well said sir! 👏👍😀 Joe is sorely missed 😢

[@johnhunt7291]

Joe was a super singer ,, terrible loss to the the UK music world ,, im in Ireland , his impressions were phenomenal , he was unique , what a voice ,

[@annwalpole6158]

I have had the pleasure of being with Joe and I can say what a nice Man and true entertainer he is. Miss you x

[@dennistownson9246]

Thank you Joe, We played this at my wife's funeral 11 years ago and it was so appropriate RIP both of you

[@stevedickenson7339]

Yes great singer a tribute to your wife

[@ltipst2962]

Sorry Dennis, that's very strong to share. I wish all the best today and RIP to your wife. This is a very sweet song.

[@davidknight8172]

True legend,the poor man had a lot of downers with his illnesses yet he still performed brilliantly. Life can be so unfair yet it didn’t let him get the better of him till the last. RIP JOE. You surely earned it.

[@ltipst2962]

A good way to put it. He didn't let it at all, stood brave in front of the country day in day out and following his passion. A soft hearted shining star.

[@jeanhorn8891]

Unfortunately another gone too soon. I first saw Joe in his adopted Blackpool, When I was a little younger. Mad Scottish invasion during the summer. I still love Blackpool but unfortunately the variety acts today are good but I was lucky to see the Greats. Joe was my favorite. I , unfortunately never personally met him. Joe never got the full recognition he deserved,illness got in the way. ❤️ to family and friends. Jamie who was there in his shadow,was the wind beneath his wings. ❤️ RIP Joe

I was just looking at You Tube randomly today when I saw Joe's performance with an impression of Dame Shirley Bassey & Tom Jones. I listened to it a few minutes later and whilst scrolling down I saw the comments and RIP's for him. I had to check if this was correct first , I could not believe it yet another so talented man taken far too soon. I met him many years ago when he opened a fete at a local Hospital and he was lovely to everyone. He fought hard to survive his illness as so many of my dear friends did. This has made me so sad today-I must have been in the garden and missed the news and some days I don't get the papers so it was a total shock ' May the choir of angels come to greet him and take him to paradise, may their love enfold him in their glory and surround him in eternal love' RIP dear Talented Joe Robert xx

You are right, it does seem there is a lot of evil in the world today, but I believe..and I believe, that "Love" cancels evil, I always find that all terrible things that happen in this world, and in our own lives, are overcome by "love", evil will never ever destroy "love".
