Joseph F. McGonigle, age 47, of Franconia Township, went home to be with his Lord and Savior Wednesday, April 17, after a courageous four-year battle with cancer. Born in Media, PA he was the son of Kathleen (Bimler) McGonigle, of Jim Thorpe and the late Bernard J. McGonigle. Joe graduated from Penn Crest High School, Class of 1990. Joe was employed as a supervisor for the PA Dept. of Agriculture, Weights & Measures Department. He loved fishing, hunting and passing on his knowledge to others. Joe was an excellent marksman who won many first-place shooting competitions in the Tri-State area. No matter what Joe set his mind to, he always gave it 100%. He was a member of Central Schwenkfelder Church, Lansdale. Joe’s cancer journey brought him closer to the Lord. He never complained even through all his suffering. Joe was an inspiration to many and will be deeply missed by his family and friends. In addition to his mother Kathleen, he is survived by his wife Sherri L. (Clemens) McGonigle; two children Shyanne and Brandon; his in-laws Ken & Fran Clemens, Mike & Pam Clemens, Karen & John Reininger, Bruce & Jen Clemens; many nieces and nephews; Stephanie & Todd, Jessica, Andrew, Brad, Jason, Jacob & Abigail, Tristan, Deanna, and Kurtis. In addition to his father Bernard, he was preceded in death by his brother Timothy McGonigle. Relatives and friends are invited to attend his Memorial Service on Monday, April 22, 11:30AM, at Central Schwenkfelder Church, 2111 S. Valley Forge Road, Lansdale 19446, where Visitation will take place from 10:00-11:30AM. Private interment will take place before the Memorial Service.

I'm shocked and sorrowed at finding that my friend Joe is gone home to the Lord. I never knew a better man. He and I were good friends for many years. Our paths went different directions. I just now went to look for him in hopes of getting together. Instead I find he is no longer with us. I hope Sherri and the family are doing well. Anything I can do for the family will be done.
I loved Joe as a brother and feel sick inside at his loss, and at my not having stayed in contact with him and the family .

I just heard of Joe's passing and send my deepest sympathies. Though we had not been in touch for a long time, I will keep my memories of Joe close to my heart. Our group of high school friends enjoyed wonderful times with Joe. A true friend with a huge heart!
Hoping warm memories help his beautiful family find peace at this time. God Bless.

I knew Joe for too brief of a time. I so enjoyed our brief visits together . He was a strong courageous husband and father. I refer to him and Sherri,Shyanne and Brandan as Warriors. They always trusted God for the next day and cherished every moment together even in the worst of times. My prayers continue for this loving family knowing they draw their strength from our Almighty Savior and King. Heartfelt sympathy. Love and prayers.

No words can say how much we loved Joe. As we mourn and grieve the loss of Joe, we will have fond memories of what a great man Joe was, a husband and father and genuine family man. We pray for Sherri, Shyanne, Brandon, Kathleen and the whole Clemens family.

We will miss you Joe and we know that The Lord our Savior has you safely in his arms now. May you rest in peace and let the perpetual light shine upon you.

My heart goes out to Sherri, Shyanne and Brandon as you grieve the loss of husband and father. I pray God hold you close as He gives you His comfort and peace. May fond memories of Joe encourage and comfort each of you in the days to come.

Joe was an amazing inspiration to everyone around him. He was always positive, regardless of the circumstances he was facing. His smile was contagious and his stories were always entertaining.

I pray that together with the sadness of knowing he is no longer physically here with you will also be the joy of knowing he is free from pain and suffering. At this time he is in the loving presence of his Lord and Savior and there will come a day when you will see him again.

XOXOXO
