Some sad news to bring you as we loose another great Quin of the past.

An adoring husband of 60 years, an amazing Popsie and Great-Popsie

He was a loving man who gave so much throughout his life, he was the ultimate family man, and adored his dogs ‘Flynn’ and ‘ Max ‘ 

He loved his sport, whether it was playing, coaching or watching, and was a real tank enthusiast from his time spent in the army. 

A wonderful Loyal friend . A true Gentleman. 

A true inspiration and mentor throughout our lives and will be deeply missed by so many.

JOE COTTRELL

Joe's wife has asked if you could wear a little something red that would be amazing as this was Joe's favourite colour and of course Bristol City Colours
