This information has hit me hard to the core, I was a little league teammate of Joe’s in the early eighties. We hit off almost immediately, I was a catcher who caught Joe, but for whatever reason he hated pitching, so we switched and he fell in love with it... I lived my summers @ my grandparents beach house on M st, and still have family there. I pray that the Finn family has found the strength somehow to carry on... RIP MY
(police) teammate, and I’ll see ya on the other side Hey...

My condolences to all of Joe's family & friends . I was very saddened to hear of Joe's passing, he was a teriffic guy! I've known Joe since 5th grade and he always had a great personality. I echo other comments written by my friend's here, Tom Mcdonough, Ed Mitchell and Neil Reilly . I'm sure Joe was as loved in Fla. as he was in his hometown of Hull . "Screaming" Joe as he was nicknamed from many of his trips to the Boston Garden or Fenway park will be missed by everybody who came to know him .

I'm saddened to hear about the passing of Joe. Although I wasn't a close friend of Joe's I have many memories of what a class guy Joe was. I recall the one time I had moved to Ft. Myers for a year and didn't know anyone in the area. I was at a Red Sox spring training game and ran into Joe out of the blue. I remember Joe calling out to me and looking up and seeing this big smile on his face. It was like I was one of closest friends that he hadn't seen in years. That's the way I remember Joe.

Dear Noble & Family,
My thoughts are with you all. I never really knew your younger brother but I remember him as a hockey player and a handsome boy- who uses that word anymore!

I was happy to read that you're married. You are a great guy just as your brothers are from reading these entries. I do receive the Hull Times and I'm impressed with your brother Pat's activism in local politics.

My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I remember fondly commuting with your mother to work for my summer job. Both Patty and I sent an email back on this sad event and I wanted you to know that our childhoods are forever impressed in us from growing up in Hull. It's a tie that only natives seem to have.

Sincerely and with good thoughts,
Kathy McWilliams

Dear Mrs. Finn, Maureen, Noble, and Pat,

I am so very sad to hear about Joe. I know that everyone who knew Joe growing up in The Village would echo Tom McDonough's sentiments; his smile was infectious and Joe was a good friend to those of us who grew up with him. He will always be in our thoughts.

Some of my happiest memories are of those pick-up games we had in the flooded field behind the firehouse. Joe was truly in his element when he had a pair of skates on and I always knew that if I wasn't on his team I was about to get smoked. Joe has and always will have a special place in those memories of growing up down The Village.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

With deepest sympathy,
John Sullivan

Dear Franny, Pat, Noble, and Family:

Mere words cannot adequately express my profound condolences to
you and your entire family on Joe's
passing.
May his memory be for a great and good blessing for all of you, and
may you know only happiness, not
sorrows, for many years to come.
With heartfelt sympathy and
understanding,

I am very sad to hear the tragic loss of my friend Joe. My thoughts and prayers are with the Finn family. It seems like yesterday when I first met Joe at the Middle school.I have fond memories of Joe's abilty to light up a room with his uncanning wit and sense of humor. I was always amazed how highly intelligent Joe was. He was one of the most well read people I have ever know. I used to work with Joe at "Charlies" in Braintree and witnessed first hand what a people person he truly was. I had the pleasure of seeing Joe about a year ago when he was up visting in Hull. Joe met me with his big smile and a hug. I truly will miss my friend Joe. In our thoughts always, Neil Reilly and the Reilly family.

Mrs. Finn, Nobel,and Pat Joe and I became real close during our Charleys days and he treated me like a brother ever since.We lost touch for a while but I was lucky enough that we would talk on the phone. I moved to L.A. last year and Joe was there for me helping me find a place to live and calling to make sure I was ok just like a big brother would do. Joe was the greatest and I will miss him very much.

I am very saddened to hear the heartbreaking news about Joe. I first met him in the 3rd or 4th grade on the playground of Jacob’s School and, although I hadn’t seen much of him over the past 10 years, he was still someone I considered a friend. With Joe it didn’t matter how long it had been since you saw him last, he had a way of cutting through all the formalities with his classic ‘Joe-Finn-Smile’ and picking things up where you left off. Ed Mitchell and I visited Joe in Naples about 10 years ago and he took us all around town. He seemed to know everyone in the area on a first name basis. Later we joked that he was the Mayor of Naples. I have many memories of great times with Joe since I first met him. He was a solid guy and a good friend to all and he was one of the freest spirits I ever met. My deepest sympathy to the Finn Family and all Joe's close friends. Joe, we will never stop thinking about you. Tom McDonough & The McDonough Family-Hull
