Passing of Joe Coghill

Lost an old shipmate last year - Joe Coghill who sadly passed away after falling victim to melanoma . We sailed together on the Irisbank and later became friends ashore.
RIP Joe.

I sailed with Joe aboard the "Moraybank" on his first trip to sea. There were four apprentices. Ron Kreamer was 'Senior' with whom I shared a cabin and the other was Jim Dudley who shared with Joe.
The master was John Townsley and 3rd Mate Derek William Dudley Pitt both of whom are no longer with us.
I am still in touch with Ron Kreamer. We both sailed together again with the United Baltic Corporation (UBC) in the same order of seniority, he as 1st Mate and me as 2nd.
Joe had a very successful and fulfilling life ashore becoming a dealership manager in the motor trade. He had a lovely wife and both shared the love of music. They were both members of choirs, Jo in a 'barber shop' style, which gave them a lot of pleasure. They had two sons and two grand children. Happy memories of long ago...

I completely lost touch with Jim Dudley and would ne interested if anyone has news of him.

First time I have seen the Moraybank mentioned in any thread, I did a seven month cruise on her in Jan 1948, USA, New Zealand, Tonga, and Fiji, Good crew and ship, that's if its the same ship.

Hi Roger,
Joe was senior App on the Irisbank when I was 3/0 and we slugged it out around the world for nearly 2 years. We were friends post Bank Line, and socialised early on when Joe married, and I was then in Sea Link. His father was the manager of a Ford dealership and played a big part in his life. We had a lot of fun racing around the North Circular road!

The name Kreamer rings a bell and we also sailed together, think it might have been the Westbank after the grounding.
