We will all miss Joe. Such a lovely man

[National Galleries of Scotland @NatGalleriesSco]

We are saddened to hear of the passing of Joe Anderson. Joe volunteered with the National Galleries of Scotland for over 30 years and assisted with visitor enquiries and other departments. His dedicated support was appreciated by all and his enthusiasm and passion will be missed.
