JOSEPH F. SWEENEY

To the family of Joe and Janet Conners, Joe´s Sister. Just found out about this thru The Judge Bulletin and I am very sorry for your loss. Joe and I played multiple sports together at Summerdale and St Martin In basketball and we were friends thru St Martin and Judge, he use to be my car buddy riding to Judge and we doubled for our Junior prom, we were involved in an automobile accident that night but we all walked away healthy which has been rolling around in my head since I heard the news....

I can´t believe I just saw Joe´s name in the "In Memorian" section of the monthly Father Judge newsletter. Joe and I were high school classmates and college classmates at Villanova. We shared some fun and crazy times. We lost touch after college but I always expected we´d meet up somewhere. I am so sorry for his family for their loss.

I remember best his sense of humor. His love of life. His excitement every day that school was out. Although we lost touch 40+ years ago. His passing still brings sorrow for the loss of a good man.

Sarita, So sad to hear this news. I remember all the fun times we all had at Breen's and Margate so long ago. You and Joe built a wonderful life and family together and I hope those memories help you and your children through this difficult time. With deep sympathy, Jane Moyer

Dear Sarita and family so sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers for all during this difficult time. The Pendergast's send our condolences.

We are so sorry for your loss. This is a very difficult time, and all of you are in our thoughts and prayers. May our Lord comfort you and may Joe rest in peace.

Dear Sweeney family, Our heartfelt thoughts are with you. The Connell family. No winter without a spring And beyond the dark horizon Our hearts will once more sing .... For those who leave us for a while Have only gone away Out of a restless, care worn world Into a brighter day Helen Steiner Rice

Sarita, we were so sad to hear the news of Joe's death. Please accept our deepest condolences. As you know Joe and I go back to our days at Father Judge and also the Philly PD. Of course, more relevant to the current time was our Memorial Day ceremony and Joe playing the bagpipes every year for close to 15 years. He always performed as a professional and I know he was honored and proud to do so. Everyone looked forward to his part of the ceremony! Joe is a great friend and true gentleman....

Sweeney Family: I'm very sorry for your loss. Joe was a year younger but we grew up & played on teams together at SBC. Years later we reconnected in the officiating world, Father Judge Events and sadly, funerals for mutual friends. He was a gentleman and good friend to many. The family will be in our prayers.
