Dear Cynthia and Drew ~ I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. What an amazing life he lead! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

In Christian concern and loving care, you were uplifted in prayer by The Mens Prayer Fellowship of Dauphin Way United Methodist Church.

It's probably been 25 years since I've seen Mr. McGonagle or the family but he was such an influence over all our young people at St. Lawrence back then. I have wonderful memories of youth group, choir, and Mrs. McGonagle singing at midnight Mass. To this day, a Christmas never passes that I don't remember those beautiful services. His was a life well lived, and we are all so fortunate to have been a part of it. He's walking with God now.

Our hearts and prayers are with you! What a wonderful, encouraging, man of God! God's comfort, love and peace to you all!

Dear McGonagles,
I had the true pleasure of knowing him both at St. Paul's and BK, and truly treasure the experience! He was always spirited, inspiring and a pleasure to be around...I even knew that as a child!
God Bless!

Mr. McGonagle changed the way i viewed the world . God bless ,he is truly missed, fortunately he is in a better place.[Bishop Kenny class of 1968]

Dear Aunt Theresa, Theresa, Margaret, Christine, Cynthia, and Elizabeth. I am keeping you all in my prayers. Uncle Joe was such a loving man, and I will always remember the twinkle in his eye. His mother had the same twinkle. I am grateful that he taught me that Jesus loves me. He told me to love Jesus, and I do. He told me Jesus told us to love one another, and I will. Thank you for sharing your husband and father with us. He is a man I will follow to God.

It was my privilege to know Joseph as one of his students in TIPS and also as a professor for TIPS where I was employed. He was delightful to be around and always smiling and always
eager to share his vast knowledge. He was truly a gift to his students and will indeed be missed by many. May it comfort you to know how much he was appreciated and what a blessing he was to so many.

Praying for Gods comfort and strength to surround you and your family during this time. Mr Joseph was a wonderful man and neighbor and I feel privileged to have known him.
