Not sure what to say?

In Ireland they'd call Joe a Kerryman- take a good look now for you'll not see the likes of him again.
Joe was a good friend from the Y and his campaigns.
He didn't win but he gave Kevin White nightmares.
One of the great ones.

Sorry to hear about Joe's Passing.i remember joe from the Huntington ave YMCA he was a true leader even in the LOCKERROOM if you ever had a problem you talked to joe timilty.nobody worked harder on the stair master than joe it's funny sometimes I look over and I still see joe pumping away.

Elaine and family, I was saddened to learn of Mr. T's death. After hearing the news, endless happy memories came to mind. I can see him coming to our door on Halloween when the little ones were trick or treating, standing on the sundeck in Scituate getting a great tan, sitting on our deck chatting with my Dad, and trips to Front Street in the "Harbor" when he took the kids there for pizza and always invited my brother, David and me to go too!!

My condolences to the Timilty family . I didn't know Joe , but for one meeting. but I remember playing stickball at the Skating Club at Pleasure Bay in Southie in the 60's when he stopped to say hello. I was so impressed how nice a guy he was , even kidding and teasing like we had grown up with him . Godspeed to a good man , my instincts were right about my old friend Joe .

Joe was so kind to me during a very difficult time in my life. He spotted me crying at mass and took me into the Rosary group. I will always be thankful for his kindness. Rest In Peace my friend.

My deepest condolences to the Timilty family. I'm so sorry to hear the loss of dear Joe. Like many others, I'm very fortunate to have known Joe. He was such a sweet, kind, and truly one-of-a-kind person. I'll miss his wit, warmth, and sense of humor. He'll be truly missed.

With gratitude,

Thinking of the Timilty family at this difficult time. We still think of Kelly & Kara often, and hope you are comforted that they are now with their dear Dad once again.
