In loving memory of Joe Salim who was heavily involved with helping children on the autism spectrum through Autism Spectrum Australia (ASPECT) South East Sydney (SES) School.
Joe's two only grandsons, Joey and Noah, are on the autism spectrum and they were very blessed to have an active, fun loving, and generous grandfather.
Joe was a man with a very large heart. ASPECT is a charity very close to Joe and he was active within the community. Joe played Santa at the ASPECT SES School Christmas Party on perhaps one of the hottest days in December. However, he was still happy to wear the suit to put a smile on the kids faces. He kindly donated Christmas presents to all the students at the Peakhurst school campus.
Joe was also very happy to help sell (or eat) chocolates to help raise funds for the school fundraiser.
Joe was always happy to lend a hand when it came to the children and the school. He helped the school Parents and Friends (P&F) Community contact cover over 50 books for the schools new library. He did this only a few weeks before his passing, and whilst he was actually in pain at the time, he promised his daughter in law, Vivian, that he would complete the job, and did so gracefully, despite her protests.
In addition to all the above, Joe generously gave monetary donations towards ASPECT.
In honour of Joe's memory, and following his connection with ASPECT, we are raising money on his behalf to help children on the Autism Spectrum. All money raised will go towards ASPECT South East Sydney School in Peakhurst, where his grandsons currently attend.
We are very grateful for all those who are attending the memorial ride, in particular Paul, Donna, and the Viagra Tourers for organising. Thank you also to The Kyah hotel for generously sponsoring the event.
