Graham Watson wrote a sympathy message

“I was shocked and saddened to hear about the passing of Joe Phelan. I first met Joe in the late 1990's at a health club in Shrewsbury "Mass Health and Fitness". He was one of the nicest, fittest and most athletic people I came across. Was regularly there, working out on the bike and in the weight room. We used to chat down in the locker room and in the bar talking about track and field. I'm very sorry for his family and close friends. Graham Watson”
