Joseph Ignatius Killorin

As both dean and professor, Joe Killorin was instrumental in turning Armstrong Junior College into a highly regarded public liberal arts college. He was a brilliant scholar and a kind and generous colleague. I deeply treasure the years we spent together at Armstrong in the Department of Languages, Literature, and Dramatic Arts.

Joe had the ability to make everyone who conversed with him feel special.

Henry and I send our love and deepest condolences to Diana and Clare, our precious cousins. We will be thinking of you on Sunday and hope the day can be a celebration of a very special life.

My favorite artifact from Dr. Killorin's long history at Armstrong is his elegant letter of application. https://flic.kr/p/7fiymB
His wonderful presence is evident throughout our history.

Dr. Killorin is remembered as a wonderful teacher.

Dear Clare and Diane, So sorry to learn of your Fathers' passing. It is so very difficult to lose the second parent. But, how wonderful that you were able to have him for so long. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Warmest regards, Patricia

It says something about a man when you remember him fifty years after your last conversation with him. Dr. Killorin was that kind of man.

I had the distinct honor and pleasure of working with Joe Killorin about 40 years ago, at the Savannah Little Theatre, on a production of King Lear, in which he had the starring role, and I was the "fiery hot Duke of Cornwall," who was killed off in the second act. He was invited to play that role by the then-current director, Bill Starrs, whom I also had the pleasure of working with for several years, 1975 - 1980 or so.

Joe was not only a fine actor, but a consummate Southern...

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.
