Eddie Hubbard Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Very sad news , didn't know Joe personally , only on Soul Source , my thoughts are with his family and many friends .Remember the good times everyone .Best ,Eddie
Andreas B Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 I only got to meet Joe in person for the first time at the last Hamburg Weekender, but it was immediately clear he was someone well respected amongst our soul fraternity. Only after talking with him did I connect who he was on here, and it all clicked. Its going to always be a large regret that we never got to have him over here in Copenhagen to spin discs at the Tiki bar I book, I know he would've been well pleased with a zombie in one hand, flipping a great R&B banger over with the other. Such incredibly sad news, hope there's an incredible selection of rum and real ale on the other side. Rest easy, Tiki Joe.
45cellar Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Shocked to hear this. Condolences to his family and friends. R.I.P. Joe.
Rob Wigley Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 RIP Joe, remember the old days in Rotherham, very very shocked at this news to say the least ! Rob

Guest gfarrington Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 really shocking news , a truly nice bloke , the amount of posts already just shows how much he was liked & will be missed rip joe
Guest tosspot Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 R.I.P to one of the best guys on the soul scene, we had some blasts with Joe, esp. in Oslo a few years ago, a true gentleman, what a very sad day
Frankie Crocker Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Very sad news. Only knew of Joe through Soul Source and others who mentioned him at various events. His contribution to the scene will be sorely missed. Our thoughts and condolences go out to Joe's family at this time.
Drew3 Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 RIP fella. My condolences to all of Joe's family and friends. Drew.
Nicola Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Very Sad news. Our thoughts are with Joe's family and friends at this very sad time. Sleep tight Gilly and Nicola
Godzilla Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 One of the few people on here that I didn't know in the real world yet genuinely felt I had a connection with - mainly because of his cracking attitude to life, music and everything. I'm so very sorry hear this news. The loss of Pikey's Dog significantly diminishes this site. Please pass my condolences to Joe's family. Paul (Godz)
Cunnie Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Just saw this on another site that was drawn by a friend of Joe's. Sum's him up perfectly I think.
Dysonsoul Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Only just heard about this, we got into all this around the same time....sad to hear this awful news. Hope family are ok.
Grumpyfella Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 RIP Joe. Terrible news. Your family and friends are in our thoughts. Phil & Jo x
Bitchdj Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 I don't really know what to say except it's nice to see so many messages on here and to read how many other people rated him as I did as a genuine all round nice bloke...I heard the news a while back via facebook from his sister and was totally shocked to say the least...who am I gonna argue the toss with now about rock & roll? (oops I mean R&B) ...my sincere condolences to becky and all of Joe's family...planet earth will be a worse place without him but egads heaven will be rocking...RIP Joe gone way too soon..x Cookie
Brav Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 The message below is from Joe's sister who is not a member on here. Hello everyone, I just wanted to come along and thank everyone for the overwhelming amount of support and kind words we've had over the last 48 hours. On behalf of our family I want people to know that every single message means so much to us. I'll keep everyone updated with regards to Joe's service/memorial when we know more ourselves. If there's anyone here on Soul Source could you please extend our thanks there, too? Thank you so much again, it's lovely knowing that everyone else loved him as much as we did. Amy (Joe's little sister) xxx

Perdita Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Terrible and shocking news - R.I.P. big lad. All our thoughts at this sad time are with Becky and Joe's family and close friends. Bought lots of records from Joe and also been educated to many a fine tune from him over the years. Thoughts and prayers to Becky and the family. Steve and Caz (The Melton Mafia) Tragic news, Joe was a lovely man and his tunes at Middleton were amongst those that introduced me to the RnB scene. Heartbreaking.
John Elias Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 R.I.P Joe (Pikeys Dog) I'm sure we met you out and about over the years,sleep tight soul man. John and Carys.

Alison H Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 This heartbreaking news still hasn't sunk in yet As so many have said, he was a top guy, Sheffield's finest, & will be missed by all who knew him. Rather than try put into words how great he was, thought I would post a couple of pictures instead. One showing Joe at his best with his gorgeous smile (sorry Becky, I know you dislike your photo being taken, but it's a really great one and too nice not to share), & the other one is Joe larking about which we loved him for Sending love & condolences to Becky, Amy, all the family & to Joe's closest friends at this painful time. Joe - Rest in Peace my friend & see you later Ali xxx

Mace Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 The first few years I was on ebay (on dreaded dial-up, and when you could openly see other bidders IDs) I regularly lost 50% or so of my bids to 'Chubbychops' who I later found out to be Joe Dutton....
