Dear Markie & Family;

In our younger days when working together I often felt Joe [being a “bit” older and senior in rank] was “looking after me” [ a big job].I have fond memories of and value his friendship.

I hope you are well and coping without him.

Denis

Markie, Patrick and Colleen,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. As Suzanne has already said we have great memories of the holidays we spent together. Love to you all. Stephen, Orla, Megan and Rebecca.

Dear Markie, Colleen & Dave & Brodie, Patrick & Barb,

Our love and support is with you all today and always. I have wonderful memories of holidays with you and Joe in Candada and Dublin. Joe was a very special man. He treated me like a daughter at a time when I needed advise and support, I will miss him. Love always Suzanne, Paul, Rachel, Jessica and Lauren X

To the Delany Family in Calgary.

Michael and Kathryn Delany and family of Gaulstwon House Dunshaughlin offer you our deepest sympathy on behalf of all the family here on the passing of Joe. We will remember you all in our thoughts and prayers. Michael’s late father, Keven Delany, would have been a second cousin of Joe.

Dear Markie and family:

When I think of Joe, I think of the perfect picture of an Irish Man… wearing the ‘green’…twinkling eyes, mischievous smile and ready to ‘ding’ the unwary (all in good humor, of course, as he was too kind for it to be otherwise). We do not meet many friends like Joe in a lifetime and he leaves a big space….Love and stuff…Cathy and Earl Hansford

Was saddened to learn of Joe’s death, and send my condolences to his family. I knew him through his sister Colette with whom I worked in Philips. He was a true gentleman. May he rest in peace.

Markie,

Our love and sympathy to you and the family. Lots of happy memories of our trip to Victoria with Stan and Margaret and the Kerins.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you,

Helen and Brendan

Dear Markie, I send my sincere condolences to you and yours. I am Roy Mulleady’s second of four daughters. When I visit Aunty Una I often ask after you. 53 years of marriage is wonderful to have had and is a testament of what great friends as well as soulmates you must have been. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Regards, Eva x

My deepest sympathy to all of Joe’s family and friends, on the passing of a great sporting friend who, through his own achievements , helped me and many others , to understand the values of the sport we loved ,…from Club athletics to Olympic Championships.

Markie,

Please accept our condolences with respect to Joe’s demise. I so enjoyed working with Joe back in Montreal at CIL House branch in the late 60s. Joe kept the office quite sane with his great sense of humour. Harry and Sheila Kerin shared with us this very sad news.

Markie, Colleen and Patrick – I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved Joe. He was a wonderful man and I know he will be dearly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Marlie:

I’ve always had the utmost respect for Joe and his departure from our world leaves a huge vacuum. Although he stuggled valiantly with all of his afflictions, he is finally at rest.

We will all miss his no nonsense demeanor.

Best regards

Bill Moysa

I worked with Joe in Edmonton and it did not take me long to discover that he was one of nature’s gentlemen who always saw the good side of people no matter what. My sincere condolences.

To Markie & Family:

I was fortunate enough to work with Joe for a while when he was in BMO’s Divisional Office in Edmonton. He was always a sourse of inspiration and good humour and we are saddened by his passing. Our sincerest condolences; our hearts and prayers are with you and the family.

Dennis & Margaret

I am saddened to hear of Joe’s passing. I worked with Joe in Edmonton. He would have known me by my previous married name of Sabatier. He was such a good, kind man and he treated me more like a daughter than a co-worker. He always treated me with the utmost respect and always saw the good side of all those he came in contact with. I am sure that all who knew him would say the same. I am sure everyone of you will miss his infectious smile. My heart & prayers are with all of you in this difficult time. God bless.

Dear Markie, Coleen, Patrick and families,

We are thinking of you all at this very sad time; of what a lovely man Uncle Joe was, and of what great memories we all share.

May he rest in peace.

With love

Jennie, Jim, Zoe, James and Amy

Markie, Patrick, Colleen and families, Our thoughts are with you all, we have lovely memories of Joe which we will cherish. Ronnie, Lynn & family.

On behalf of the members of Railway Union Sports Club, I wish to extend their condolences to Joe’s family on his recent death. Joe was a member of the Club, (here in Sandymount Dublin) many years ago and I also understand he was a very talented hockey player. I also knew Joe myself as he was a neighbour of mine on St John’s Road.

Martin Cowley, Chairman, Railway Union sports Club

Dear Markie and Family,

I was saddened to read of Joe’s death today. I remember him as a colleague at Bank of Montreal in Edmonton where he was affectionately known as “The Old Buzzard”. We kept in touch after retirement, mainly on St Patrick’s day and Robbie Burns day, and I will miss his friendly banter.

My condolences sympathy and prayers are with you all. I will cherish his memory.

Rest well old friend.

John McHutchison (BBBJ)

Dear Marnie and family…Sincere codolences on Joe’s passing. We worked together in the early 80’s at North York Central Branch. Joe was a good man and I extend my deepest sympathy. Frank Fisher
