Mr. McFadden was my English teacher at Blair High School. He crossed my mind recently and I was sad to discover he had passed in 2016. He was a good man and I will always remember him as a kind and caring person and a great teacher.

Mr. McFadden was my 9th grade English teacher. I remember photos of his children he would have on his desk at school. He was cleaver and made learning fun. As an adult I moved to the neighborhood and would see him periodically walking his dog, we would have short chats. I have noticed his absence for sometime but was unaware of his passing. My condolences to the family. Felita

Although I only met Joe a few short years ago, he made a very positive mark on my life. He had a wonderful sense of humor in addition to being a warm and considerate friend. You were always happy to see me when we ran into each other even when you were not feeling well this past few months. You are missed.. Regards, kt
