JOSEPH J. DOWNEY

John,

I was very sorry to learn of Joe's passing. I have fond and happy memories of you, Joe, Carolyn, Jack, and Kathy whether at The Palms in Boston or D.C. the occasions were always filled with laughter and joy. I'm fortunate to have been in the company of such wonderful fun loving friends. My Mom enjoyed the company of you and your family and being part of that infectious enthusiasm for life and the joys that it bring.

God bless you and your family,
Gerry

John, I'm truly sorry for your loss. Joe took me under his wing when I started at Mt. Washington Bank. He guided me through the ropes.
I enjoyed our working relationship but more importantly our friendship. He spoke so highly of you and his family and his love of travel. I can't go through Boston without some memory of a recommendation on a restaurant from Joe. From The Oak Room to The Palm, he is a connoisseur of them all.

I will miss exchanging Christmas cards with...
