Not sure what to say?

It is with great sorrow that I heard of Uncle Joe's passing. The photo looks so much like my Dad, his kid brother, Robert. I have so many memories of going over to Uncle Joe and Aunt Joanie's house as a child and I couldn't wait to see the four cousins! My prayers and thoughts are with him and the family. God Bless.

It was my honor and privledge to work with "Joe", I knew him to be an honest, and dedicated man. My thoughts and prayers go out to JoAnn and his family.

I miss you Papa Joe! You were so wonderful to me... I love you so much. P.s. Don't worry about grandma, she is in good hands. I wish you were still here. I love you

I did not have much of chance to know Joe, but as an adult I work very closely with construction unions and I am very proud of my family connection to Unions and the great work Uncle Joe and his father my Grampa did before him for working families. My thoughts and prayers go out to his 4 children, 12 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren and I am so happy to have so many people sharing the Donlon genes with me.

I always had fond memories of Uncle Joe. Rest in Peace dear uncle.

It was my great privilege to know Joe and he was charmingly welcoming to me when I joined his family by marrying his "kid" brother, Bob. Also, as a member of the "working" class, I will always admire his devotion to the principles of unionism. He was a great guy and he will be missed.

Thank you Joe for everything you did for all workers and their families. PEACE BE WITH YOU!
