JOSEPH J. O'DONNELL

Joe was a good guy, and a terrific athlete- he starred on Malden Catholic's Football, Baseball, Basketball, and Track teams. When he graduated, he attended prep-school for a year and then entered Harvard and HBS. His classmates, of which I was one, were proud of his achievements. He made us all proud, for he was and always will be one of us who took the city bus to get to our diminutive high school on Highland Ave. on the Westside of Malden. We were the Eastside crowd, never quite on...

Joe gave a chance back in the 60s to pitch for the McKinnon Club and then for the Hosmer Chiefs. He was the perfect manage because he knew how to treat people and always made you feel good about yourself. He was a " mench " well ahead of his joining Belmont CC. To Kate and Casey, your eulogies were "tremendous " and he would very proud of you.

Deepest condolences from the Samuels family. I love hearing about the business adventures that Joe & Dick shared over the years. Two great men (with the greatest of wives by there side!) Joe was a great role model for what really matters, family. He has blessed countless lives and will be greatly missed. Praying for you all during this time of loss.

Dear Kathy, Casey and Kate, We are so sorry for your loss. We remember the wonderful cookouts at your summer home at Old Silver beach with the crew from Harwichport. Joe was a very special and caring man. We were very fortunate to know him and your lovely family. We extend our deepest condolences. Jane and Phil Tracy

Just watched Joe´s Celebration of Life. A magnificent celebration. Kate and Casey made their dad (and mom) proud. And I´m proud that Joe made me feel that I, too, felt I was a "best friend." Everyone who knew Joe knew that there was something special about him. He left a "forever" mark on the things that help others and we are all thankful. Joe will be missed but never forgotten. I, for one, am just happy that he was a friend.

Dear Kathy, Casey and Kate, Janice and I just participated in the memorial services for my classmate, Joe, via streaming. We thank you for the opportunity to do so. Joe was a wonderful, caring, generous and very strong person. We are all a bit poorer without him. Casey and Kate, your eulogies were touching and beyond compare. You brought him even more to life than we ever knew him. Demetrios Julius, M.D. Harvard 1967

Joe will be missed by so many. He always brought the best out in people when their paths would cross. He was well respected and well loved. Few can be remembered in that way when they pass on . We will miss him dearly. May his memory be a blessing to all who knew him .... With our heartfelt condolences to you ,kathy, and the kids Roberta and Stephen R. Weiner
