Remembering Sligojoek

I’m so sad to read this now. I looked forward to his posts. He was such an interesting person.

Sincere condolences to his wife, children, extended family and to all who love him and will miss him.

May he RIP.

Only saw this today, sincere condolences to his family.

Only knew him via the radio forum, may he rest in peace.

I remember communicating with him sometimes while making posts on the Satellite & Television forums down through the years. To read that he was critically ill is very heartbreaking. I give my sincere condolences to his family and friends who are grieving at this very sad time.

Rest easy Sligojoek. May God be with you.

May he rest in Peace,

I was shocked and saddened to hear this evening of the untimely death of SligoJoe.

It’s been years since I last posted on Boards but I felt I had to pay my respects to Joe (RIP). He was a gentleman. I remember having lots of great discussions with him and some heated debates too!!

However, a few things stand out - he was a proud Tipperary man, happily exiled in Sligo, he loved his wife and family and he was very proud of his children.

He was passionate about Tipperary GAA and used to slag me off mercilessly for supporting Clare hurling. He loved music and his tastes were varied. He was a Pogues super fan and had great stories about his time hanging out with the band.

I remember exchanging recipes with him and one Christmas we discussed how best to cook the Christmas ham. I said I was going to cook mine in cider. He said he couldn’t justify wasting good alcohol!!

I will be thinking of you “SligoJoe from Tipp” and your beloved family this Christmas. May their happy memories be a source of comfort at this very difficult time.

Rest in Peace SligoJoe

Christmas for me is always backed up by Fairytale Of New York as the soundtrack, I absolutely love the tune, never tire of it. Any time I mentioned anything Pogues or Shane related on here I'd be pretty much guaranteed to get a reply from Sligojoek about a story he would have here or there he had with the band, loved that, missing you man. I know how hard this must be for your family, particularly this first Christmas without you, RIP.

RIP sligojoek

I've just seen this thread as I've been away from boards a lot for the last while. Though I didn't know him personally, we had an unusual connection in that I own a Beele that his dad owned when he was a child. We had a good chat about it when I stumbled across his post with old pics of it. Rest in Peace.

I only signed up to offer my condolences. I knew him 'online' via the Radio Forum. He was an extremely decent guy, who had no time for bullshit or pretence. I loved his stories of Shane McGowan, his cutting quips, and his common sense.

RIP to a sound Tipp man.

A Tyrant Named Miltiades

RIP

His anniversary was marked recently.

Raise a glass.
