John Joseph J.J. Mahoney III

I had J.J. for a class at Webster University, Charleston Site 54, in entrepeneurship. He sure was classic "Old South". One of the finest men I ever met. Insofar as his World War Two service, I remember he was an infatry officer in the Asiatic-Pacific Theater. Real live, authentic, genuine Citadel man. He and his wife were absolutely the best, and I am grateful to have met him, enjoyed his hospitality, and been one of his students. Stephen Christopher Kelly, M.B.A., M.A.,...

"J.J." was a unique and colorful gentleman whom I admired as a faculty colleague of his in the Business School at The Citadel...He will be missed by many including myself.

I was sad to hear of his death. I will miss him. He always brighten up my day at The Citadel Gift Shop. I always refer to him as Dr. Mahoney. He would always correct me.
He is truly a legend. Rest on.

I was greatly distressed to learn of JJ's passing. He was a wonderful individual who touched many people during his lifetime. Please accept my sincere condolences. A contribution to the Hibernian Society of Charleston Foundation will be made in his honor.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Mahoney 5 years ago at an event he attended, and what a pleasant and happy person. His phone calls and letters always made me smile. He will be greatly missed.

Our prayers and thought is with you in our time of bereavement. Mr
Mahoney was really a lovely person,
he always had a smile on his face.
No matter what the circumstances was. He will truly be missed.

Colonel Mahoney was my professor in three different classes when I was a cadet at The Citadel. But he was much more than just my professor; he was my good friend, a friend with whom I had just spoken less than two months ago. In addition, he presided at my wedding ceremony and what a thrill that was for me. I often called Betty on Mother's Day because I felt that close to her. What a couple - both of you are sorely missed. As Charles Dickens said "When someone is remembered with love, their...

A true gentleman and legend.
