I've known Joe for years and always enjoyed being in his company. Tales of Hibs and a droll and great sense of humour were always in evidence.

RIP Joe, you'll be missed

A great Hibby (yet another one gone before their time) and a gentleman. A keen student of the history of the club & I know from my own involvement that Joe was instrumental in the setting up of the Hibernian Historical Trust & I understand he was heavilly involved with the hard work that culminated just last Friday in the club being presented with the co-founder's bust (sadly, Joe couldn't be there).

RIP Joe.

[Baldy Foghorn]

Worked with Joe at Easter Road as a family officer. Lovely man. Condolences to Sandy and the rest of the family. Will be sadly missed. Rightly described as a Hibernian Legend. Sad day for all who knew and loved him.

RIP Mr Galletta a true gentleman and total Hibby.

First time I've posted on here for months.

But, sad news, Joe was a decent guy who wore his heart on his sleeve with his love of his team. He had a long hard battle with his health problems and kept on fighting back at that most evil of diseases.

RIP.

[Greentinted]

Remember him doing his thing in the Famous Five Stand, seemed to know everybody and everybody held him in great affection. The world is a slightly less well off place without him.

RIP Joe, and condolences to those close to you.

[Hibby D]

Just wanted to add my condolences to the thread - Joe was a weel kent face right enough and always good for a bit of gossip or a funny story or two.

RIP Joe
