Not sure what to say?

I was a classmate at Salpointe High - knew Joe very well as our 2nd baseman on the varsity baseball team. A tremendous competitor who was a great sport.

I knew Joe. He was a good guy, always had time to speak with me, and I even went to a session at his law school back in '83. I pretty much lost track of him after I moved to Sierra Vista in '86, and just discovered he had passed when I googled his name. RIP Joe, you were a good guy.

Good man, I will never forget his influence on my life.

Joe Sweeney assisted me with my legal studies. His instruction and encouragement took me from Hearing Officer to Judge Pro-Tem in Pima County. May he rest in peace.

RIP Joe...think of you often.

I have been friends with Joe's older sister Barbara since 1957. I never got to know Joe. It was nice hearing all of the good stories about him at his Memorial Mass. My condolences to his family and friends. RIP Joe

Joe was my classmate since seventh grade at St. Ambrose school. He spoke positively about all people, except for certain politicians.

Dear Sweeney family: I am sorry I will be out of town and unable to attend Joe's Memorial Mass. I will always remember his loyalty to classmates and their families from our St. Ambrose days. Now he enjoys the true love and justice for eternity for which he fought so hard during life. Rest in peace, dear Friend.
