The Belfast Trades Council is deeply saddened by the death of our friend and comrade Joe Law.
Joe was a leading light of the Trades Council for over 30 years.
He responded to every call to support progressive causes in Belfast, Ireland and beyond. He was a true fighter for his class.
We are proud to have had him in our ranks.
He is forever by our side.
Our thoughts are with Brenda and family. R.I.P.

The Communist Party of Ireland mourns the death of our lifelong comrade Joe Law.
He was one of a kind.
A man of integrity, wisdom and great humour.
He left an indelible mark on all who stood with him in the struggle for his class.
Sympathies to Brenda and family.
Man's dearest possession is life, And since it is given to him but once, He must live as to feel no torturing regrets for years without purpose, So live as not to be seared with a cowardly and trivial past.
So that dying he can say, All my life and all my strength was given to the finest cause in the world, The Liberation of Mankind. R.I.P. Comrade Joe Law.

LAW, JOE - (69), a beloved comrade and friend passed away, (suddenly), at home on September 28, 2016.
Founder member of Trademark Belfast, Joe was an exceptional human being, life long trade unionist and committed communist.
Joe was a bright light in our lives and our world is suddenly smaller and darker.
The thoughts of the staff and committee of Trademark are with his partner Brenda, his family and all his comrades.
(Joe's remains will leave his home on Tuesday 4th October 2016 at 12.15 p.m. for a celebration of Joe's life at 1.30 p.m. in Roselawn Crematorium. Memorial donations may be made to Cuba Solidarity c/o Browns Browns, Houston & Williamson Funeral Home, Crumlin Road).
You can go proudly, you are history, you are legend, and we will never forget you.
No Pasarán!
